Variety characteristics:

• W1449 Cuiyu Crisp Jade Snack Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) is a vigorous fresh-eating cucumber distinguished by its glossy pale-green fruits, crisp texture and refreshing sweet flavor. The productive vines develop female flowers at a high proportion of nodes and maintain strong successive fruit set during well-managed spring production.
The smooth, cylindrical cucumbers grow approximately 6–7 inches long and feature an attractive white-green to pale jade exterior. Their clean appearance is enhanced by sparse white spines, minimal ribbing and the absence of pronounced striping. Inside, the light-green flesh is crisp, juicy and pleasantly sweet, with a distinctive fresh cucumber flavor.
Cuiyu is an excellent size for snacking, salads, fresh slicing, lunchboxes and attractive farm-market displays. Its combination of vigorous growth, concentrated female flowering and continuous harvest potential makes it especially well suited to trellised greenhouse, high-tunnel and protected spring production.
Regular harvesting keeps the fruits tender and encourages the vines to continue setting marketable cucumbers throughout the productive season.
