Overview

Regal F-1 Hybrid is an early, high-yielding gynoecious pickling cucumber long used by commercial processors. The fruit is dark green and stippled, tapered, and longer and slimmer than a typical pickler, which suits chips, spears, and whole packs alike. It can be harvested by hand or machine and performs in northern and southern regions. The cucumbers are very crisp. In the garden, plant with a pollinizer if the packet does not include one and pick every day or two.
