- Species and varieties: The Stinging Gherkin, also known as Cucumis anguria, is a variety of cucumber that is native to Africa but has been naturalized in the Caribbean, South America, and the southern United States. It is a small, prickly fruit that resembles a miniature watermelon.
- Hybrid or heirloom: The Stinging Gherkin is an heirloom variety, meaning it has been passed down through generations due to its valued characteristics.
- Pruning and training: Stinging Gherkin plants can be trained to grow on a trellis or other support to keep the fruit off the ground and promote air circulation. Pruning is not typically necessary, but diseased or dead leaves should be removed to maintain plant health.
- Fertilization needs: A balanced vegetable fertilizer can be applied at planting and again when the plant begins to flower for best results. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of fruit production.
- Hardiness zones: Stinging Gherkin is suitable for growing in USDA hardiness zones 9-11. It prefers a warm, tropical climate.
- Climate requirements: This plant thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. It is drought-tolerant but prefers regular watering for optimal growth.
