Judges Observations
- Easy to harvest, performed well under adverse weather conditions. The flavor of the stem is sweet as claimed.
- Nice salad bar type. Nice juicy stalks even in the heat. Tender. Mid-maturing as to comparisons.
- Heads are more compact and plants are very uniform.
- Excellent head. Tall plant for ease of harvest. Very early to mature.
- Entry had one 3″-4″ central head standing up taller than the side shoots. It was the tallest of all 5 broccoli in the trial. The heads were easy to harvest, and the long shoots were tender and easy to cook. The flavor had significantly more true broccoli taste and packed a truly fresh broccoli punch.
