Richmond Green Apple Cucumber Seeds – Australian Heirloom, Lime Green, Apple-Crisp (65 Days)

Australia’s Beloved Apple Cucumber — Crisp, Juicy, and Entirely Unique

Richmond Green Apple is a rare and treasured Australian heirloom cucumber that produces round to apple-shaped fruits with distinctive lime-green skin and a tender, creamy white interior with a crispness that truly resembles biting into a fresh apple.
