Cucuamelon

3.25" Pot

VINING

This vining plant also known as Mexican Sour Gherkin is a vigorous climber. Cucamelons produce plenty of 1” miniature, green striped melon shaped fruit. The crisp fruit has a sweet almost salty flavour great for snacking on, using in salad, stir fries or pickled.

Plant outdoors after all risk of frost has passed and space plants 6" apart .  Cucamelons require a bright, warm place to grow. Full sun and sheltered location with soil pH of 6.0-7.0. As they are heavy feeders, an application of compost or well-rotted manure worked into the planting area will help. Regular applications of an organic fertilizer during the growing season is beneficial. Plants should not be allowed to wilt. Make sure they are well-watered before transplanting.

Keep mature cucamelons picked off the vines to encourage a longer yield.
