Variety description

10 August 2026

The Orient Express F1 variety is early-maturing, with a maturation period of 60–64 days. The plant forms vigorous vines suitable for vertical cultivation on trellises and demonstrates the ability to adapt to cool and hot weather conditions.

The fruits have a cylindrical shape, a length of 25–36 cm, and a diameter of about 4 cm. The skin is smooth, dark green in color, and does not require peeling. The flesh is juicy, sweet, crunchy, and contains no bitterness, which places the variety in the burpless category.

The plant possesses good resistance to powdery mildew and cucumber mosaic virus. The product is intended primarily for fresh consumption, in particular for preparing salads.
