Suyo Long Cucumber (Cucumis sativus) This is a very old heirloom cucumber originating from northern China. Often pronounced Soo Yoo Long or Soo Yow Long. Fruits contain few seeds and are quite tender, non-bitter, and burp-less! Vines should be trellised for space if straight cucumbers are desired, otherwise, they will naturally grow curly on the ground. We have noted very good disease resistance with our seed source which comes from a local grower in Wolfville, NS.
