Territorial Seed Company Picolino Cucumber

Parthenocarpic means the plants can set fruit without needing to be pollinated by bees or insects. This makes Picolino an excellent choice for greenhouses or enclosed spaces where pollinators might be scarce, ensuring you get a harvest regardless of your environment.

These are mini-sized cucumbers that are best harvested when they reach 4 to 5 inches in length. At this size, they offer the crispest texture and the best sweet flavor profile.

Yes, Picolino is a compact variety, making it well-suited for smaller spaces. While they perform beautifully in open fields, their manageable size allows them to thrive in containers or raised beds as long as they receive full sun.

You can expect to start harvesting your first cucumbers in 45 to 50 days after planting. Because they are an early-producing variety, they offer an extended harvest window throughout the season.

Picolino has high resistance to CCa and CCu, along with intermediate resistance to common issues like cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), cucumber vein yellowing virus (CVYV), and powdery mildew (PM). This built-in protection helps keep the plants healthier and more productive throughout the growing season.

Plant your seeds at a depth of 0.5 inches, spacing them 4 to 6 inches apart. Ensure your rows are spaced 3 to 4 feet apart to allow for proper airflow and growth, and make sure the site gets 6 to 8 hours of full sun daily.
