Product details

The Continental Asparagus UC72 is a robust, open-pollinated variety developed for high productivity and adaptability. Originating from the University of California, Davis, this cultivar is a superior selection from the Mary Washington line, often referred to as "Mary's Granddaughter." It is well-suited for both commercial agriculture and home gardening, particularly in regions with warm climates.

Key Agronomic Features:

  • High Yield Potential: Produces heavy yields of dark green spears with compact heads, typically larger than those of the Mary Washington variety.
  • Climate Resilience: Exhibits strong tolerance to heat and drought conditions, making it ideal for cultivation in subtropical and tropical regions.
  • Disease Resistance: Demonstrates resistance to Fusarium Wilt and Rust, contributing to healthier plants and reduced crop losses.
  • Longevity: As a perennial plant, UC72 can remain productive for up to 15–20 years under optimal growing conditions.

Key Features

Germination: Seeds germinate within 14–21 days at soil temperatures between 70–85°F (21–29°C)

Planting: Sow seeds 1 inch deep in well-drained, fertile soil enriched with organic matter. Space plants 12–18 inches apart in rows 36–48 inches apart 

Sunlight: Requires full sun exposure for optimal growth.

Watering: Maintain consistent moisture, providing approximately 1 inch of water per week. Avoid waterlogging to prevent root diseases.

Harvesting: Begin light harvesting in the third year after planting to allow the plant to establish a strong root system. Full harvesting can commence in subsequent years, with spears best harvested when they reach 6–10 inches in length

The worst item I have bought on Jumia.com.

The seeds were a con. They didn't sprout. At all. If I could I would rate them ZERO
