Cucumber (Shintokiwa)

Vital Seeds
£2.50 ea Cucumber (Shintokiwa)

This cucumber is amazing, a new favourite, prized for an outstanding sweet flavour, delicious juiciness and crisp, crunchy texture.

Known for its vigorous growth and productivity, this variety makes dark green long and slender fruits. They are mostly straight (when trellised) and uniform with an occasional curve. It is the flavour that is so extraordinary sweet, almost floral and so delicious throughout the season like no other cucumber we’ve tasted. A beautiful crunch and no bitterness even when harvested on the ripe side or towards the end of the season.

Shintokiwa is valued for its disease resistance, a fine choice for the greenhouse as well as outside.

Great quality and variety from the veg box. Perfect for helping me try out new meals. Delivery is great. They are very accommodating to the fact I live in a flat. What's in the box emails are fun and informative.
