The National Pickling Cucumber produces blocky, dark-green fruits about 4–6 inches long, featuring slightly tapered ends and a firm, crunchy texture that holds up beautifully in brine. Its balanced, mildly sweet flavor and consistent shape make it an outstanding choice for dill pickles, bread-and-butter recipes, and fresh salads.

The strong vines are known for their disease resistance and high yield potential, producing uniform fruits over an extended harvest period. Regular watering and consistent moisture encourage straight, flavorful cucumbers all season long.

A dependable heirloom variety from the mid-20th century, the National Pickling Cucumber continues to earn its reputation for excellence in both taste and texture.
