Cucumber Artist F1 is an early self-pollinated high-yielding gherkin-type hybrid developed by the Dutch seed company Bejo Zaden. It is recommended for cultivation in both open ground and film greenhouses. The plant is robust with a well-developed root system, producing 6-8 fruits in each node. The fruits themselves are uniform, flat, with large tubercles and a dark green color. They do not turn yellow when ripening and have a small seed chamber, making them non-bitter.
This hybrid exhibits good tolerance to conditions of low lighting, making it well-suited for cultivation during the winter-spring period. It is resistant to olive spot and powdery mildew, making it suitable for salting, pickling, canning, and fresh consumption.
