Suyo Long is an Asian burpless cucumber that can grow to 15” long with a sweet flavor and crisp texture. Use for fresh eating, pickling or cooking. The fruits are spiny when young, and become smoother at peak maturity. Fruits tend to curl on one end; so trellis vines for straight fruit. Widely adapted and heat tolerant. If powdery mildew is caught early it can be battled with a diluted milk spray, which changes the pH of the leafs surface making it inhospitable to the powdery mildew.
