Wisconsin Pickling Cucumber – Organic Heirloom 4” Plant

‘Wisconsin Pickling’ (SMR-58) is widely regarded as one of the best non-hybrid pickling cucumbers ever developed. Bred by the University of Wisconsin in 1959, this heirloom variety is prized for its exceptional yields, crisp texture, and mild, sweet flavor.

The dark green fruits grow 6–8 inches long with classic black spines and dense flesh that readily absorbs spices—making them ideal for pickling. They are also excellent fresh, offering a clean, refreshing crunch.

Vigorous plants reach 36–48 inches tall and perform best in full sun. ‘Wisconsin Pickling’ is known for its strong resistance to multiple diseases, including cucumber mosaic virus, powdery mildew, scab, and target leaf spot, and is also deer resistant.

This organic 4” Wisconsin Pickling cucumber plant is an outstanding choice for gardeners looking for reliable harvests, classic flavor, and superior pickling performance.
