Can you repeat "cucumber tree" a few more times so we know what you're talking about?

Where did you learn how to write? And "Cucumber-tree is an Perennial" should be "Cucumber-tree is a Perennial". Using "an" that way really sounds stupid. And your second post was just a repeat of the first one. And who cares about that much information on this tree anyway?
