| 67 days. If you're new to cucumber growing or if you've ever been frustrated by disease attacking your crop, Moctezuma is the variety you MUST grow. It's got such a heavy-hitting package of disease resistance that you're guaranteed a big crop of uniform, dark green, delicious cukes every time!
The fruit measures about 9 inches long and 2½ inches in diameter, straight and very smooth. It's the ideal slicing cuke, looking as good as it tastes, with a nice crunchy bite and tender flesh within. Expect big yields, because with no diseases to intervene, you harvest just about every piece of fruit on the plant!
Moctezuma is resistant to powdery mildew, cucumber mosaic virus, watermelon mosaic virus, scab, angular leaf spot, target leaf spot, anthracnose race 2, downy mildew, bacterial wilt -- well, it would be easier to list the diseases it's NOT resistant to . . . except we don't know any!
This vigorous, super easy-to-grow cuke was introduced in 1999 and has been the mainstay of fine home gardens ever since. Carefree varieties such as Moctezuma are very hard to come by (Tomato Park's Whopper is its counterpart in the tomato family, super-easy and always healthy), and you shouldn't miss the chance to grow the perfect slicer! Pkt is 15 seeds. |
