Very good type. Usually vigorous, producing large, tasty spears. I'm looking forward to plentiful spears when it starts to produce.

It grows well in my back garden and with a few crowns, I will have asparagus next season.

I bought these as two year old plants. I resisted the tempation to harvest them this year, so next year they will be in full form. 25 plants in total. I'll be picking them at four years of age.

Crows Nest, QLD, Australia
Planted and left unharvested first season. Cut down and mulched after tops died off, cow manure added over winter. Second season fantastic! Coming into our third and we are thrilled with them. 9 of 10 thrived, replaced 1 crown.

Best hilled for better drainage. Remove seed heads as it can easily become a weed in warmer areas. Delicious lightly steamed and served with extra-virgin olive oil, chopped basil and cracked black pepper.
