Overview
Green Slam is an early hybrid slicer that gets fruit to the table quickly. The cucumbers are smooth and dark green, about 6 inches by 1 inch, slender enough to eat whole. Resistance to both mildews and cucumber mosaic virus keeps the plants going after the first flush. A good choice for a short season or an early crop before the main planting.
