Asparagus UC72 (Asparagus officinalis)

This delectable, drought- and heat-tolerant variety is resistant to Fusarium Wilt but requires patience. Plants will yield a bountiful harvest 2-3 years after planting. Look forward to hefty, uniform, deep green spears with compact heads. A terrific choice for market growers, homesteaders, and home gardeners.
