Overview
Cobra is a slicing cucumber with vigorous gynoecious vines and one of the broadest resistance lists you will find. The fruit is cylindrical and dark green, about 9 inches long and 2.5 inches wide. It resists scab, powdery mildew, angular leaf spot and anthracnose races 1 and 2, plus four viruses: cucumber mosaic, zucchini yellow mosaic, watermelon mosaic strain 2 and papaya ringspot (WMV-1).
