Cucumber, Cetriolo Montebello Ibrido F1

Cucumber, Cetriolo Montebello Ibrido F1   A Hybrid Cucumber from the Franchi's Professional line. 

These seeds are gynoecious, which means flowers are all female so the yield is very high. However, 12% of the seed will be a  pollenizer with male flowers, so this is not a variety suitable for gardeners who grow just a few plants.  Therefore, you need to grow all the seeds in the packet to benefit from the high yield potential.  Thus this is not a variety suitable for gardeners who grow just a few plants.  Cucumbers are very sensitive to cold and should not be planted before the soil has warmed up to at least 65 degrees F.

This is an excellent slicing cucumber that works well for growing in greenhouses or high tunnels.  Montebello F1 is resistant to multiple common viruses.  Fruits are 7-8 inches, slender and cylindrical, dark green with light spines. Small seed cavity with slow seed development. Approx. 50 seeds.
