Crystal Apple cucumbers

[Old bird]

Hi I am trying to find seeds for these type - I am not sure if I have the name right but it is something along those lines.

Does anyone know where I can get a few of these seeds please?

if they're the same as Crystal Lemon, I can send you some...
PM me your address if you're interested :)

there is crystal apple and crystal lemon - both different varieties, chiltern seeds and kings seeds sell them but as they are really popular I would've thought a lot of seed merchants would have them

I've got a packet of cucumber Crystal Apple containing +/-12 seeds which you are more than welcome to.  With all the other varieties of cucumber we grow we are a bit short of space.  If you would like to PM me your address, I'll send you them.

found this, which is what made me think that Lemon and Apple were the same:

confused now ???

having grown them both it isn't surprising to say that the lemon looks like a lemon and the apple looks like a pale green small apple  :) i think the picture on that link is Crystal lemon and they've got it a bit muddled

either way both are the best cucs I have ever tasted - maybe get both and see for yourself

Have you tried Nicky's seeds nursery-think have seen it there

I have Crystal Lemon Cukes and Richmond Apple cukes and as ther name implies one is like a lemon and the other 1 a green apple. There is also a good hybrid one called Sunsweet you might want to look at, it looks like the lemon one, you can eat these as cukes or leave them to mature more and use them as courgettes.

Me to  :-\The Organic Catalogue say they are the same.


Sorry Jeannine did not read ya post before i asked the question. so they are different?

[Jeannine]

Well mine certainly are as they are different colours,one is yellow and 1 is a limey green colour(came from the US) but I think the yellow one gets confusing.I have heard them called, lemon, apple, crystal lemon, and simply crystal also I think Sunsweet is just a hybridised version of those too.
