Overview
Transamerica is a hybrid pickling cucumber with mostly female-flowered (gynoecious) vines, which means heavy, concentrated fruit set once the plants get going. The fruit is dark green, blocky and medium long, with white spines. Its resistance list covers scab, both mildews, cucumber mosaic virus, angular leaf spot and anthracnose, so it holds up well where cucumber diseases are a yearly problem. Pick regularly; gynoecious types produce a lot of fruit in a short window.
