Bush Cucumbers

These cucumber plants bear fruit earlier than vining types, and they are easy to care for and harvest into the fall season. Perfect for containers.

I have grown Bush Champion and Spacemaster (both are available at Home Depot as Burpee seeds).

Here is the list of 4 Bush Cucumbers from Burpee:

Picklebush
Salad Bush

Bush Champion

You won't believe the large number of crisp, bright green slicers you'll get. This is a Customer Favorite. No room for vines? Bush types take one-third the space, so they're great for containers and raised beds. Bush Champion's huge 8 to 12" cukes make this a favorite mini. You won't believe the large number of crisp, bright green slicers you'll get from the pint-sized plants. Mosaic resistant and productive. Proven tops for productivity, flavor and wide adaptability.

Height: 6-8 inches
Spread: 24 inches
Days to Maturity: 55 days
Fruit Size: 8-12 inches

User comments from Burpee.com: "the cukes are coming out as one foot long each, AND maybe 15 to 20 per plant. I couldn't be more happy"



Spacemaster

Great for small areas. This compact cucumber is ideal for containers or hanging baskets. Its short, hardy vines produce slender, dark green fruits 7 ½" long. It's prolific. Resistant to Cucumber mosaic virus and scab.

Height: 6-8 inches
Spread: 26 inches
Days to Maturity: 56 days
Fruit Size: 8 inches



Picklebush

Customer Favorite. Burpee bred Picklebush has unbelievably compact vines that get only 2' long. White-spined fruits have classic pickle look, deep green with paler stripes. Up to 4½" long, 1½" across at maturity but use them at any size. Very productive and tolerant to powdery mildew and Cucumber mosaic virus.

Height: 6-8 inches
Spread: 24 inches
Days to Maturity: 52 days
Fruit Size: 4 inches



Salad Bush Hybrid

Salad Bush Hybrid is an All-America Selections winner and yields full-sized, full-flavored 8" slicers on tiny plants. High disease resistance means high yield and a longer season.

Height: 6-8 inches
Spread: 26 inches
Days to Maturity: 57 days
