Cucumber Crystal Apple

A heritage variety originating from Australia in the early 1900’s. Prolific cropping on trailing plants if picked regularly at larger golf ball size. Crisp, tender flesh with a bitter free, sweet flavour. Best grown outdoors to trail on the ground or support on a trellis. Crops over a long season if picked regularly. Sow mid April to early June under glass to transplant outdoors. Mixed flowers, both types are required for pollination. Prefers well-drained, moist, rich soil in full sun. Extend the season with cloches.
