Quick question about Delikatesse Cucumber

mayax68 · September 8, 2010

Does anyone know if a Delikatesse cucumber is an open pollinated variety or a hybrid? I'm growing it this year and would like to save seeds it is possible.

Thank you,
Maya.

So what if it is an F-1, you can select based on that current standard and your own taste.

It is a heirloom

I think it is a german variety. Delikatesse means delicacy in both danish and german.
