Description
Cucumis sativus 'Burpless,' commonly known as Burpless Cucumber, is a cultivar of cucumber originating from South Asia, specifically bred to be more easily digestible and low in bitterness. This evergreen annual plant thrives in Perth’s warm growing season and is best suited to outdoor garden beds or large pots with trellis support, as it grows into a vine that benefits from vertical space. It prefers a sunny position with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily and thrives in rich, well-drained soil with organic matter added for optimal growth.
Burpless cucumbers can be sown in Early Spring (Djilba) to Late Spring (Kambarang) and harvested throughout Early Summer (Birak) when the fruits reach around 15–20 cm in length. Regular watering is essential, especially during warm months, but avoid overwatering to prevent rot. The cucumbers can be eaten fresh or added to salads, sandwiches, and pickles. Known for their crisp texture and mild, refreshing taste, Burpless cucumbers are a popular choice for those who may experience digestive issues with other varieties. This versatile vegetable brings a healthy, hydrating addition to any diet and is enjoyed for its culinary uses.
