This creamy, light green fruit has delicious, crisp, and juicy flesh. A sweet and mild Indian variety, it hails from the city of Poonah, or Pune, the cultural capital of the state of Maharashtra, India. There, it is popular juiced or in salads, and Pune street vendors sell it as a snack to beat the intense heat. Poona Keera is simply divine when sliced and sprinkled with a bit of salt and pepper. Potato-shaped with yellow skin, it turns a handsome brown as it ripens. Disease resistant and very hardy, it is one of our best varieties. Vines produce early and the yield is very heavy. 60 days Full Sun Sprouts in 7-14 Days Seed Depth: 1/2" Ideal Temperature: 70-90 F Plant Spacing: 18-36" Frost Hardy: No Cucumis sativus
