Cucumber – National Pickling

The National Pickler variety produces small fruits, perfect for preserving, but also delicious raw. Picked young, the cucumbers are short and stubby; when mature, they are cylindrical and the tips are more pointed. The plant can crawl on the ground or climb on a trellis or a fence depending on the growing method you choose and the layout of the garden (space, light, wind, etc.). The vines are moderately large. Good productivity.
