This is my first attempt at growing cue's, a freind gave me the plant. I dont know what it's called all I know is I must take the female flowers off. Has anyone else grown cue's? how big do you let them get,I've got a lot more coming.

I have grown Burpless tasty green F1 hybrid and its been brilliant. They recommend to pick about 8/10 inches long, but I have let them get to 12/14 inches and they are delicious. and you dont have to remove the male flowers......
