About Bush Pickle
Bush Pickle is a compact pickling cucumber bred for containers and tight spaces, producing short fruits on a bushy plant. It is useful where a standard vining pickler would be too large.
Growing Bush Pickle Cucumber
Because plants are compact and heavily set, consistent watering is important to prevent bitter or misshapen fruit. Harvest fruits small and often for the best pickling quality and to keep new cucumbers coming.
