Unique white Asian type.
Great tasting, attractive, and highly productive. Uniform yields of sweet, crispy, bitter-free cucumbers with small seed cavities. Avg. 9–11″ long. Itachi holds up well to cooking and makes an excellent addition to any stir-fry. Trellising produces straighter fruit. Performs well in the greenhouse and field. Parthenocarpic. NOTE: Exposure to direct sunlight may cause light greening of the fruit. Allow the plant canopy to shield the fruits from sun.
16 Seeds per Pack
Use 1 Seed per hole for Tower Farms
Fruiting Crops require a longer time to mature (2 – 4 months based on variety), but they give an abundance of fruits for a long time once they mature. It is highly recommended not to grow more than 1 type of fruiting crop per tower.
Plant only a maximum of 2 plants of Cucumber per Tower, and only 1 plant per Tower Pot. Do not plant cucumber on the bottom-most Tower Pot to avoid DWC (Deep Water Culture).
Cucumber Plants require manual pollination. Once the plant starts giving flowers, use a clean, soft paint brush and gently rub all flowers every couple of days, this helps move the pollinators from male to female and generate healthier fruits.
Fruiting crops require a cage, check it out here.
