This outstanding variety has been a consistent top performer in recent trials, out-yielding others by up to 25%. It's early too, giving the first succulent tasty spears in mid to late April & continuing to crop heavily until mid-June. It is an 'all male' hybrid, forming no seeds which means all its energies go into spear production & troublesome seedlings in the bed are avoided. We supply one year old crowns, grown in East Anglia, which can be picked as soon as the year after planting. Plants crop for well over 10 years, & established beds can be cut from emergence of the first spears until mid-late June. Crops for up to 15 years.
