Eastern Crown F1 Heading Broccoli
60 Days to Maturity.Â
Tight headed broccoli, well suited for the Midwest. Remains crunchy without bitterness in the heat of summer. 24″ tall plants with 5″+ domed broccoli heads.
Direct seed 3-4 seeds every 18″ and thin to single plant at second true leaf. Or transplant, sowing 6 weeks before last frost date and transplant at 3rd true leaf for spring plantings. Harvest while heads are still tight before budding occurs. Wider spacing will reduce disease pressure, especially for late plantings.
Seed Source Information:
Due to intellectual property restrictions and hybrid production methodology this variety is not able to be produced by small scale, regional growers. However, we feel there is no better option for a uniform, classic heading broccoli for Midwest growers.Â
