50 Seeds Spacemaster 80 Cucumber Compact Bush Slicing

Spacemaster 80 is a compact cucumber variety that produces dark green slicing cucumbers on bushy, space-saving plants. It is a popular choice for home gardeners who want a reliable cucumber harvest in smaller gardens, raised beds, or containers, offering clean, mild-flavored fruit with a crisp texture.
These cucumbers are excellent for fresh slicing in salads, sandwiches, and vegetable platters. The fruits are typically harvested when they reach 8 to 9 inches long, though they can be picked smaller for pickling. The plants grow in a bush habit, requiring less trellising than vining types, and perform well in warm weather with consistent moisture.
