Self-pollinating bunched cucumbers: 20 varieties for open ground and greenhouses

Nowadays, cucumber plants with a bouquet arrangement of ovaries are in fashion, which gives them a number of advantages over “ordinary” cucumbers. However, we must remember that even such “fruitful” plants need our help.

What is the bouquet of cucumbers called? Typically, up to 3 ovaries are formed in the nodes of cucumber plants. Plants with a bouquet (beam) located in each node can have from 4 to 10 ovaries. This sign indicates high potential yield. The number of ovaries in a bouquet depends on their location on the plant and the age of the plants. In the lower nodes, as a rule, not very large bouquets are formed. A larger number of ovaries are formed in the nodes of the middle part and above, and there may be even more of them on the side shoots. The bouquet type manifests itself most clearly at the beginning of fruiting, when the plants are already well developed. It is interesting to note that the flowers in the bouquet bloom alternately with a short interval (1-3 days), sometimes several in one day. If we consider that there are many similar nodes with bouquets on the plant, between which there is also a small gap in flowering time, then it is easy to imagine a garland of fruits of different stages of development. Fruiting in cucumbers with a bouquet type of flowering is very friendly; on hybrids, up to 30 blankets can be poured at the same time. Of course, not all flowers in bouquets develop into a normal cucumber, but even if 2-4 fruits form, a good harvest is guaranteed. Bouquet cucumbers have a kind of safety supply of ovaries: if one ovary does not set due to bad weather conditions or other reasons, the next one immediately develops. When growing cucumbers with a bouquet type of ovary arrangement, you need to remember that high potential yield is not a guarantee of a huge harvest. The cucumber plant is a balanced system that itself regulates its fruit load. This means that a plant can simultaneously bear not an infinitely large number of fruits, but a certain number of fruits that it can feed. Timely shaping will allow the bouquet cucumber to correctly distribute forces on the filling of fruits, and not on the growth of excess vegetative mass or flowering and setting of excessive ovaries. It is very important to collect greens on time. The younger the cucumbers are harvested, the greater the number of them that can be removed from the plant. By the way, another advantage of cucumbers with “bouquets”: you can harvest them in the form of pickles (3-5 day ovaries), and in the form of gherkins (7-9 day ovaries), and in the form of regular-sized greens (ovaries grow after pollination 9-14 days). The last two types of fruits are very popular in pickled form all over the world. All presented hybrids are resistant to the main pathogens of cucumber diseases.

'Picnic' F1

Early ripening (43-48 days from germination to fruiting) parthenocarpic hybrid of female flowering type. Designed for growing in film greenhouses. Sowing seedlings at the end of April, planting seedlings in the ground at the end of May in the phase of 2-3 true leaves. Planting density 3 plants per 1m2. Greenweed up to 12 cm long, often tuberculate, white-thorned. It is distinguished by a very friendly yield thanks to large bouquets of ovaries in the nodes on the main shoot (up to 10 pieces). Recommended for collecting pickles and gherkins and for producing high-quality canned food. The yield of one plant is up to 8 kg.

What are “tufted and supertufted” cucumbers?

Most varieties and hybrids of cucumber produce single or paired female flowers in the leaf axils. But there are cucumber hybrids that produce 3 or more female flowers at each node. Such cucumbers are called “bunched” (another term is “bouquet cucumbers”, “bouquet type of flowering”). These cucumbers have become very popular recently. Their main advantages: medium-sized greens (mostly gherkin size), a large number of greens and ovaries, high yield. Super bunched cucumbers mean a variety of bunched cucumbers in which a large number of female flowers (ovaries) are formed at the nodes: up to 8-10 or more.

The best hybrids of superbunch and bunch cucumbers

In the breeding and seed production industry, work on creating super-bunched cucumbers began 15 years ago. As a result of complex crossings and selections of European varieties with original samples from Vietnam and China, the parthenocarpic F1 Balcony and F1 City Cucumber , and later the parthenocarpic F1 Hummingbird , F1 Swallowtail . Cucumber seeds of super bunch hybrids are smaller than those of conventional hybrids. The peculiarity of superbunch hybrids of agro selection is medium-sized leaves and short internodes, which increases the number of nodes on the plant and, accordingly, the total number of greens and ovaries. The bee-pollinated gherkins F1 Acorn , F1 Captain , F1 Faithful Friends . All hybrids are characterized by complex disease resistance.

'Rabulka' F1

Early ripening (43-48 days from germination to fruiting) parthenocopic hybrid with predominantly female flowering type. Designed for cultivation in open and protected ground, as well as under temporary film covers. Sowing seedlings at the end of April, planting in open ground at the end of May in the phase of 4 true leaves in a size of 50 x 50 cm. The green plant is 12 cm long, weighing 100 g, often tuberous, white-spiked, dark green with stripes up to 1/3 of the fruit. The hybrid is distinguished by its friendly yield thanks to a very large bouquet of ovaries at the nodes on the main shoot (up to 10 pieces). The fruits are used universally. The yield of one plant is up to 7 kg.

Features of cultivation and care

To get a bountiful harvest, it is important to know and take into account all the features of growing bouquet-type cucumbers. Seeds do not require careful preparation before planting.

Further care for bunched cucumbers.

Also, when caring for bushes, it is important to pay attention to the external characteristics of the plant:

• Yellowness on the bottom of the leaf indicates that the bush does not have enough nitrogen and needs to be fed.
• The leaves darken, dry out and fall off. These are signs of a lack of phosphorus in the soil.

Differences and advantages of bunched cucumbers for open ground

Not so long ago, gardeners preferred to grow hybrid varieties of cucumbers F1 Zozulya, F1 Legend or F1 April in greenhouses. Twenty years ago, short-fruited varieties were more often planted in open ground, such as Altaisky Ranniy 166, Dolzhik, F1 Rodnichok and Shchedryy 118. They gave a very good harvest, and are still in demand in specialized stores.

The advantageous difference between hybrid annual bunched cucumbers is that up to 9 ovaries can form simultaneously in one node on a bush - a whole bouquet. Therefore, unique collectible hybrid cucumbers with incredible yields are even called super-bunch cucumbers. They definitely deserve this name.

The number of greens on each bush is comparable to the yield of ten plants of a regular variety. Bundle cucumbers effectively save not only space, but also energy for summer residents.

Main advantages:

1. All bunch varieties are maximally resistant to the main diseases affecting the pumpkin family. Summer residents know how afraid cucumbers are and how susceptible cucumbers are to various diseases. For example, powdery mildew can destroy a garden bed in a few days.
2. Varietal cucumbers often suffer from changes in air temperature. These atmospheric influences do not affect bunched cucumbers in any way.
3. Early ripening: bunch varieties begin to bear the first fruits forty days after planting.
4. Excellent taste of fruits. Tender bunched cucumbers are ideal for pickling, pickling and salads, as they never suffer from bitterness.
5. The productivity is so high that optimal care conditions make it possible to harvest up to ten kilograms of high-quality cucumbers from each bush.
6. A large selection of varieties allows you to choose the most suitable one for yourself.

Among the disadvantages of the variety is the need to frequently collect greens in order to prevent overgrowth and the possibility of full ripening of new ovaries. This is a very relative minus in comparison with the incredible advantages of bunch varieties.
