Suyo Long Heirloom Burpless Cucumber
Growing Suyo Long Heirloom Burpless Cucumber
‘Suyo Long’ is a distinctive open-pollinated Chinese cucumber prized for its exceptionally long fruits, crisp texture, and sweet, mild flavor. The ribbed, burpless cucumbers stay flavorful even in hot or challenging conditions, making this variety especially well suited to warm climates and Southern gardens.
Sow ‘Suyo Long’ directly in the garden about ½ inch deep. Space plants about 3 inches apart and grow in full sun. This heat-tolerant variety is also noted for good disease resistance. The naturally curved and twisted fruits can be encouraged to grow straighter by training the vines on a trellis.
Ready to harvest in about 61 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.
Sweet, crisp, and refreshing, ‘Suyo Long’ is excellent for fresh eating, slicing, salads, and snacking.
