Origin & Breeding History: 'Telluride' (breeder designation DRCE9601) is a parthenocarpic and gynecious long Dutch cucumber with an indeterminate growth habit suited for protected heat culture in North America. It originated from a hand pollinated cross made between Seminis proprietary breeding lines 'EUR-Y317-1052GY' and 'EUR-Y315-3030GY' in 2016 at the Seminis Research Station located in Bergschenhoek, Netherlands. The resulting hybrid, 'Telluride', was selected in 2017 for its yield performance and fruit quality.

Tests & Trials: The detailed description of 'Telluride' is based on the UPOV report of Technical Examination, application number KMK1387, purchased from Naktuinbouw in Roelofarendsveen, Netherlands. The trial was conducted by Naktuinbouw in Roelofarendsveen, Netherlands in 2020.
