It produces long, smooth, dark green fruit to 25–30 cm with thin, tender, edible skin, crisp white flesh, and almost no seeds. Mild, refreshing, and burpless, it is the definitive slicing cucumber — perfect for salads, sandwiches, and fresh eating with no peeling required. A variety that has stood the test of time for very good reason.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVigorous and highly productive, Telegraph thrives in full sun in both outdoor gardens and greenhouse conditions. Best grown on a trellis for straight, clean fruit and good airflow through the vines. Pick regularly once fruit reaches a good length to keep plants continuously productive throughout the season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spring, Summer\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSow:\u003c\/strong\u003e Indoors 3–4 weeks before last frost; transplant after frost risk passes\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40–50 cm apart with trellis support\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Climbing vine to 1.5–2 m with support\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGermination:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7–14 days at 21–24°C\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e 65 days; when fruit is long, firm, and dark green\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlavour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mild, crisp, and refreshing; burpless and almost seedless\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e20 seeds\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rasmussen Gardens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58370367488303,"sku":null,"price":5.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0928\/4098\/4879\/files\/Cucumber_-_Telegraph_20_seeds.png?v=1787715402","url":"https:\/\/rasmussengardens.co.nz\/products\/cucumber-telegraph-20-seeds","provider":"Rasmussen Gardens","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
