Overview
Bush Slicer is a hybrid burpless cucumber for small spaces. The plants are dwarf and bushy yet indeterminate, so they keep setting fruit over the season without sprawling far. Fruit is smooth-skinned and 6 to 8 inches long. It resists scab, powdery mildew and cucumber mosaic virus. A natural fit for containers and raised beds where a full-size vine would take over.
