Piccolo Seeds - Cucumber Spacemaster

The Spacemaster Cucumber, as the name suggests, is a master at saving space. Its short, compact vines need only half the space of standard cucumbers, providing a great alternative to ganglier varieties!

The Spacemaster was developed specifically as a compact slicing variety by the Agricultural Experiment Station in Geneva, New York. The cucumber plant’s origins, however, can be traced back to India’s Himalayan Mountains over 3,000 years ago.

Proof of this can be found in the popularity of cucumber in traditional Asian and Russian recipes. Although the cucumber arrived in Europe many moons ago, the greatest variety of cucumber colours and shapes can still be found in its birth country.
