Will Sweet Slice cucumber produce fruit if there are no other cumbers around to
pollinate its female only flowers? Articles are ambiguous on this point.

It's listed as monoecious rather than parthenocarpic. Monoecious plants will
produce male and female flowers. Gynoecious varieties produce only female
flowers and are usually sold with a percentage of a monoecious variety as a pollen
source (the seeds of the pollenizer may be dyed so as to mark them).

"Sweet Success" is a cucumber that is parthenocarpic and will form seedless fruit
when grown in isolation.
