where this is mentioned in the description.
Variety classification is based on calendar vegetation periods. Early-maturing varieties ripen in 60–85 days, forming stem tubers with a diameter of about 6 cm with tender flesh, which are not suitable for long-term storage. Mid-season and late varieties require 90–120 days or more, forming larger and denser stem tubers that are resistant to storage.
For kohlrabi, it is critical to observe harvesting dates according to the variety group, as keeping plants in the field for too long promotes the development of coarse mechanical fibers and lignification of the flesh. The earliness of early-maturing varieties allows for their use in succession planting and frees up areas for subsequent crops.
