Top performer in recent trials
This outstanding variety has been a consistent top performer in recent European trials, out-yielding others by up to 25%. It's early too, giving the first succulent tasty spears in mid to late April and continuing to crop heavily until mid-June. Gijnlim is an 'all male' hybrid, forming no seeds which means all its energies go into spear production and troublesome seedlings in the bed are avoided. given a little care cropping will continue for up to 15 years. We supply one year old crowns, grown in East Anglia, which can be picked as soon as the year after planting given favourable conditions. 

Pack of 10 Crowns
Delivery: Early April

£16.95 Code: 283748

CULTURE: Plant crowns 30-40cm (12-18") apart. Full growing instructions provided.
HINTS: Why pay expensive shop prices for this luxury vegetable when you can easily grow your own in the same area as a small shed? Asparagus beds should crop for well over 10 years, and established beds can be cut from emergence of the first spears until mid-late June (after which the attractive ferns should be left to grow to replenish the crowns).
