Cucumber ‘Burpless Supreme’ (Slicing Cucumber) (Cucumis sativus)

Cucumber ‘Burpless Supreme’ (Cucumis sativus) is a popular slicing cucumber variety known for its long, smooth, dark green fruits and mild, less bitter flavour. This variety is commonly referred to as a “burpless” type due to its thinner skin and lower bitterness compared to traditional cucumbers, making it well-suited for fresh eating.

Burpless Supreme produces elongated, straight fruits that are ideal for slicing, salads, and fresh use. Plants have a vigorous vining growth habit and benefit from trellising to support healthy development, improve air circulation, and encourage straighter fruit.

This warm-season crop performs well in Alberta’s summer conditions when planted after the danger of frost has passed. With consistent care, it produces reliable yields throughout the growing season.
