I think this is how to spell a rare white cucumber that I cannot find anywhere.
Does anyone know of it/ where to find it?

Hello Simon, yes you have got the spelling right. These cucumbers are not widely available but I believe seed can be obtained from the Heritage Seed Library. I've put a link on for you if you want to look into that.

What's it taste like then?

I have no idea. It was just mentioned as the best in a very old gardening book (1950s) and there is nothing on the internet. It is supposed to be light green, thin-skinned and great tasting.

And poorly cropping Simon, and seed is very scarce. There is a little about it on the internet if you google for it, mostly from other gardening sites. I suspect it is a curiosity rather than a great cucumber. One for officianados with time and money to spare.

Oh well, maybe another year.

When I googled 'white cucumbers' there are other varieties you can grow, if it was just for the colour?

... The flavour description tantalised me.

I tried a round light green cucumber a few years ago that has a mellow anise flavour... Would this be Crystal Lemon or is there another?
