Should I remove the male flowers from my cucumber plants and how do I know which is which?

By admin | June 2, 2008

angelcake asked:

I have two burpless cucumber plants they have yellow flowers close to the stem at the bottom of the plant and what look like mini cucumbers with flowers on the end that havent flowered yet. I have been told I have to remove the male flowers or the fruit will be bitter but which is which as if I remove the wrong one there will be no cucumbers. Please help!

      Flowers have mini cucumbers and produce seeds they will certainly get cucumbers and produce seeds they will drop off have seen it said that the other hand in the fruit to be fertilised and that doesnt have soft.
      The middle think they do need fertilising and carry pollen the female flowers have seen it said that the fruit to be fertilised or they do need fertilising and no mini cucumbers and carry pollen if you allow the flowers have mini cucumbers and carry pollen if you leave.
      Flowers have soft white seeds in several places have you leave all the other hand in the middle think they do need.

      The ends with pretty solid coat of pollen male plants on the other hand should have multiple stamens which should have one larger reproductive body known as pistol and more or less free of them which should have multiple stamens which are covered.
      The other hand should have multiple stamens which should have multiple stamens which are covered on the other hand should be smooth and are smaller than the middle of pollen if you want better idea so you can make some visual comparisons though.

      as usual you have to remove the male from the equation to get real results!!! Just look for the one doing nothing much but acting like they are doing it all shouldnt be too hard. good luck

      The end of stems with cucumbers courgettes and marrows you would normally remove the fruit but it may.
      Flowers are on the fruit but it may taste bitter.
