Ashley Cucumber is a widely adapted, high-yielding variety developed for warm, humid environments. The plant exhibits vigorous vine growth and delivers straight, uniform fruits approximately 12–21 cm long, ideal for fresh markets and home gardens. It thrives in full sun, requires consistent moisture, and should be spaced properly to optimize yield. The hermetically sealed seed is chemically treated with Thiram (TMTD 50DS) and not intended for food, feed, or processing. This variety matures in about 60–70 days from sowing, with germination occurring in 7–14 days.
