A plant that has proven extremely vigorous and productive, especially when given rich soil and warm conditions. This wild cucumber relative produces distinctive almost maple-like lobed leaves, upon thin scrambling vines that can eventually reach several feet in length. While truly wild plants produce rather heavily spiky fruits, this accession has been bred to have relatively milder defenses, the football-shaped and roughly 2 inch fruits being distinctively bumpy but not much pricklier than most standard cucumbers, and are usually produced in enough numbers to enjoy fresh, made into numerous small whole pickles, or sliced and tossed in salads and sandwiches.
Extremely limited, packets contain approx. 15 seeds each.
