Variety traits

Maturity group — Brussels sprout

Brassica oleracea L. (Brussels Sprouts Group)

A classification trait measured by the number of days from sowing to technical maturity, determining cultivation strategy and harvest timing for the sprouts.

In the reference 107 varieties crop Brussels sprouts, where this is mentioned in the description.

Brussels sprout varieties and hybrids are classified into early, with a growing period of 120–150 days; mid-early, from 150 to 180 days; and late, requiring more than 200 days. The choice of maturity group is strictly limited by the length of the frost-free period in a specific agro-climatic zone.

Maturity determines the need for topping, which consists of removing the apical bud in late summer to redistribute nutrients to the sprouts. For late-maturing varieties, ripening occurs after the first frosts, which positively affects the flavor quality of the produce.
