Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety Bola de nieve X (also known as Snowball X or Palla di neve X) belongs to the "Erfurter" (Erfurt) type group of varieties. Historically, many different lines have been registered under the name "Snowball" and its variations, which makes it difficult to determine the characteristics of specific material.

As an open-pollinated variety, it does not possess specific traits of modern professional hybrids, such as resistance to specific races of clubroot or increased heat tolerance. The variety is traditionally intended for fresh consumption.
