Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is a 100% male hybrid, which allows the plants to direct resources exclusively toward the formation of marketable spears without wasting energy on seed production. The cylindrical spears are characterized by smoothness, density, and well-closed tips.

The hybrid is ultra-early, one of the earliest on the North European market. The variety is suitable for growing both white asparagus, by hilling or using film, and green asparagus. It is characterized by high resistance to rust, root rots, and Fusarium. The recommended planting density is from 4 to 6 plants per linear meter.
