  • cucumber crystal apple

    Im trying to find out if this should be grown as a cordon or a bush - anyone know?

    Thanks

    It's a sprawler, if planted in the soil - not a bush.

    The fruits are quite heavy, so I don't know if you could tie it up to a framework of some kind.

      Can't remember if I tied them up in my g/house or not.
      Very tasty though.
      Feed the soil, not the plants.

        I grew them last year in flower buckets in my small lean to greenhouse (aka "stayput" as opposed to plastic "blowaways" ) each with a 6' cane. They did great and tasted delicious. I expect they would be equally successful planted in the ground and allowed to sprawl.

          Last year I grew mine outside in my raised bed and trained it up up some netting alongside my french beans. It needed tying as it grew, it produced many cucumbers.
