Boston Pickling Gherkin (Cucumis sativus): an ancient variety dating back to around 1880. Productive and vigorous, it will provide abundant excellent fruit, perfect for pickling or preserving in vinegar. The flavor is sweet and the flesh is spongy. When ripe, it doesn't exceed 20 cm, but for canning, it should be harvested when it is around 15 cm. This variety was very popular at the end of the last century, but the shift in markets has meant that cultivation in the US has been significantly reduced in favor of Asia, but with a marked decline in its organoleptic qualities. Climbing habit.
