| Grew these for the first time this year. They are OK, but somewhat disappointing. They are heavily ribbed with a fairly think skin and very heavily spined. Flavor is OK, but nothing special. Despite having them trellised, they reuse to grow close to straight. Weird looking, but acceptable. I would not plant them again. |

| Suyo has a very vigorous appearance with thick stems and large leaves. The plant tends to grow up more than out. The fruit of the Suyo cucumber is superior in taste to any other cucumber I have had. The plant growth is pretty much vertical, with very minimal branching. The plant grows very well in the heat, but Suyo is very susceptible to bacteria rots, so you have to keep the water away from the bottom of the stem. Also, if an aphid population comes in it can, over time, get cucumber mosaic virus. In all other respects the plant is pretty disease resistant and vigorous. It produces very well in the heat and flurishes so much more than other varieties of cucumbers I have had in the past. I live in Tucson, AZ and many other varieties either wilt, get pests, deseases or are stunted in their growth by the heat in this area. These cucumbers are delicious. I will definitely grow this variety from now on! |
