Title: Telegraph improved--Remove male flowers?
Post by: deboydoyd on May 25, 2007, 13:12:44
Hi, Only ever grown 'ridge' type cucumbers but have been given some of the above. Do you have to remove male flowers to prevent them being sour? Also I now have 3 different types in the greenhouse  (long green, delikate and telegraph) Will cross pollination be a problem or will they be ok?  Thanks

Strange - all references say' self pollinating' - so why male flowers?

Can't answer the crossing bit.
