Cucumber Slicing Asian Suyo Long is a distinguished heirloom renowned for its elegant, long slender form and exceptionally crisp, refreshing flavor. Vigorous vining plants yield cucumbers reaching 12 to 15 inches with a mild, subtly sweet taste and thin, tender, fully edible skin that never needs peeling. The slender fruits slice beautifully for fresh salads, hold their crispness in the refrigerator, and perform exceptionally well in pickling, where the thin skins absorb brine quickly. The mild flavor complements diverse cuisines without overpowering delicate dishes, and whole Suyo Long cucumbers make a striking display on vegetable platters and market tables. This variety thrives in warm climates and shows notable resistance to common cucumber diseases. Harvest in about 60 to 70 days.

Why Choose Asian Suyo Long Cucumber?

• Impressive Length: Slender ribbed fruits reach 12 to 15 inches — a real conversation piece in the garden and on the plate.
• Thin Edible Skin: No peeling required. The tender skin carries flavor and holds up beautifully in brine.
• Dual Use: Excellent for slicing and salads, and equally at home in traditional pickling preparations.
• Disease Tolerant: Notable resistance to common cucumber diseases means healthier vines and fewer inputs.
• Heirloom & Open-Pollinated: Passed down through generations for superior flavor and consistency — save your own seed year after year.
• Non-GMO Seeds: Plants whose DNA has not been altered in ways that do not occur naturally through traditional breeding methods.

Planting Tips for Success

• Sunlight: Full sun, at least 6 to 8 hours per day. Warm, sunny conditions drive vigorous growth and heavy yields.
• Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil rich in organic matter with a pH of 6.0–6.8.
• Planting: Direct sow after all frost danger has passed and soil temperatures reach 60–70°F. Can also be started indoors 3–4 weeks before transplanting.
• Spacing: Sow 1 inch deep, 6 inches apart in rows 3–5 feet apart. Thin to 12 inches apart once seedlings emerge.
• Watering: Keep soil consistently moist. Water at the base to reduce foliar disease pressure.
• Support: Trellising is strongly recommended — vertical growth keeps these long fruits straight, improves air circulation, and makes harvest far easier.
• Fertilizing: Side-dress with a balanced vegetable fertilizer when vines begin to run. Avoid excess nitrogen, which favors foliage over fruit.
• Harvesting: Pick at 12 to 15 inches, while still slender. Harvest frequently to keep the vines producing all season.
