The term Short Top indicates a morphological feature of the plant: a shortened leaf rosette. This designation is used as a prefix to the names of well-known varieties, most frequently encountered in the Detroit group to describe a specific breeding line with compact foliage.
Detroit Short Top type plants are characterized by a round or round-flat root shape with a smooth surface. The flesh is dark burgundy in color and lacks distinct light radial rings. The growing season for these plants is from 85 to 120 days.
Varieties of this type possess a tender texture, high sugar content, and good resistance to bolting and temperature fluctuations. They are suitable for long-term storage, processing, and fresh consumption.
