Continental Asparagus Seeds (ASPARAGUS UC72)

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.
