Long-fruited Types

Asian cukes are more resistant to CMV than other types.

For really straight fruit, consider trellising your cukes. Adam Tomash and June Zellers grow theirs on a 5' arch made from cattle panel, a welded wire material with big holes. They explain this trellis system in an article in the MOF&G winter 2008-9 edition.
