The small, 9-inch fruit with tender skin and few seeds makes excellent pickles and sets the standard for slicing cucumbers; buttery soft, supremely sweet, and never bitter. This old Japanese variety, also known as “Tokyo Green,” came from China in the Meiji era, then became the dominant variety sold around Tokyo. The 1932 edition of the Oriental Seed Company catalog noted: “The vines attain twice the length of common varieties.” They do well on fences and trellises, saving space in the gardens. Vines are almost mildew proof and well adapted to hot, dry summers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowing Tips:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tokiwa Tokyo Green cucumbers are vigorous, early producers of dark green, glossy fruits with minimal seeds and superior crunch. This heat-tolerant variety is also prized for its resilience to powdery mildew and other diseases. Ideal for fresh eating, the fruits are best when harvested young. Trellising helps maintain fruit shape and improves airflow. Some afternoon shade is beneficial in the hottest summer weather.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59511695999262,"sku":"CU114","price":3.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/2280\/5022\/files\/cucumber_tokiwa_tokyo_green.jpg?v=1782402969","url":"https:\/\/www.rareseeds.com\/products\/cucumber-tokiwa-tokyo-green","provider":"RareSeeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
