Richmond Green Apple Cucumber

‘Richmond Green Apple’ is a unique heirloom cucumber prized for its round, apple-shaped fruits, pale green skin, and refreshing, mildly sweet flavor. Crisp, tender flesh makes this variety a standout in both the garden and kitchen, while the fruits remain firm and flavorful even when allowed to grow a little larger. Vigorous vines produce heavy yields throughout the warm growing season.

Start ‘Richmond Green Apple’ indoors for transplanting or sow directly in the garden about ½ inch deep. Space plants 12 to 18 inches apart and grow in full sun. This heat-tolerant variety performs especially well in warm conditions and benefits from regular harvesting to keep the vines productive.

Ready to harvest in about 65 days, begin picking the fruits once they reach a usable size while they are still firm, crisp, and tender. Harvest regularly to encourage continued production and maintain the best texture and flavor.

Mild, crisp, and versatile, ‘Richmond Green Apple’ is excellent for fresh eating, slicing, salads, and pickling.
