Celery maturity group

Apium graveolens L.

The maturity group of celery is determined by the vegetation period from mass emergence to technical maturity, which is a decisive factor in choosing the cultivation method and planning sowing dates.

In the reference 20 varieties crop Celery, where this is mentioned in the description.

For celery, the maturity group is classified by the number of days to reach harvest readiness. Leaf forms mature the fastest: early varieties reach technical maturity in 50–80 days, mid-season varieties in about 100 days.

Celeriac has the longest development cycle: early-maturing varieties require 120–160 days, mid-season ones — 160–180 days, and late-maturing ones — 180–240 days. Stalk celery matures in an average of 140–180 days. Due to the duration of the vegetation period, proper selection of the maturity group is necessary to ensure the formation of the marketable part is completed before the onset of cold weather.
