Lots of discussion lately about whether the all female flower (gynoecious) varieties of cucumbers still need to be fertilized by pollen from a male flower. Some companies seem to advertise their seed as not needing fertilization with all female blooms.
Hopefully, the attached link will clear the question up. In the future, when someone says fertilization is not needed, refer them to this link.
If you don't want to follow the link, here is a small excerpt from NCSU.
" Gynoecious cucumber flowers are pollinated by male flowers from other plants, the seeds of which are usually included in the seed packet."
Thanks
