Tendergreen Cucumber

Tendergreen Cucumber is one of the first burpless cucumber varieties ever developed, with tender, flavorful deep green skin. Harvest at 5 to 6 inches for pickling or let fruit reach about 12 inches for a perfect slicer. Its cold-tolerant seed makes it well-suited to early spring planting.
