Experience authentic Japanese slicing excellence with Cucumber Slicing Tokiwa, a venerable heirloom cucumber variety cultivated in Tokyo since the 1930s. This vigorous vine producer bears uniform, dark green fruits measuring 9–10 inches long with a refined 1½-inch diameter—ideal for fresh slicing, pickling, and culinary versatility. Tokiwa's defining strength lies in its exceptional flavor and crisp texture, which remain superior even when fruits reach full maturity. The slight surface spines are characteristic of the variety and do not detract from eating quality. The vigorous, long vines naturally climb trellises and vertical supports, maximizing garden space while improving air circulation and reducing disease pressure. These monoecious plants flower prolifically and depend on bee, insect, or wind pollination to set fruit abundantly. Expect harvest-ready cucumbers in approximately 60 days under optimal growing conditions. With an 80% or higher germination rate, these Non-GMO seeds establish reliably and perform consistently across diverse climates. The packet includes 25 seeds in sustainable, recyclable packaging—supporting both your garden and environmental stewardship. Perfect for gardeners seeking authentic heirloom flavor and proven productivity.
