I think all cucumbers, even so-called bush varieties, can benefit from a trellis. The pictures I've seen of PK were definitely trellised. Trellising is necessary to reduce fungal exposure in Houston. I realize humidity in New Mexico is just a fraction of here, so you could let the sprawl if you wanted.

I am trellising my PK this year as well as Lemon Cucumber and Straight Eight.
