Types of Cukes per HOSS for consideration in Spring 2023
- Gynoecious – varieties that produce only female flowers. These plants need a pollinator present to produce fruits. This type is usually large producers.
- Monoecious – open-pollinated and has both male and female flowers present on the same plant. Female flowers are the ones that will produce fruits.
- Parthenocarpic – don’t require pollinators making them ideal for growing in greenhouses or urban areas where pollinator presence may be reduced. This type of cucumber has little to no seeds.
