CUCUMBER POINSETT + 100gr

70 days. Poinsett are straight, dark green, non-bitter and delightfully crisp cucumbers. They are 7 – 8” long with a 2 – 2½” diameter. With the market dominated by hybrids, Poinsett  is one of the best open-pollinated, classic slicing cucumbers. Very popular in the 1980’s & 1990’s, we became impressed with its overall vigor, productivity and disease resistance. Resistant to many common diseases that plague cucumber plants, including powdery & downy mildew, anthracnose, angular leaf spot, and scab. If you have trouble growing cucumbers, give these a whirl!  Bred and released by Dr. Henry M. Munger of Cornell University along with Clemson University in 1976. These cukes are fantastic raw in salads or in cool and tangy condiments like Indian raita or Greek tzatziki.  Also wonderful in Middle Eastern Fattoosh Salad.
