Pak Choi Asian Delight F1

2018 AAS Edible – Vegetable Winner

Asian Delight F1 Pak Choi (or Bok Choy) is a Chinese Cabbage that outperformed the comparisons by leaps and bounds. Judge after judge noted how this Pak Choi does not bolt like the comparisons, even weeks after other varieties went to seed. That means the yield from this AAS Winner can be double or even higher than that of other Pak Choi on the market. Asian Delight forms small to mid-size (5-7 inch) heads that have a tasty, tender white rib and dark green, textured leaves. One judged seeded his trial three times and all three times Asian Delight did not bolt whereas the comparisons did. “This is the best white stem mini Pak Choi I have ever seen.” That’s quite an endorsement!

JUDGE'S OBSERVATIONS

  • “Extremely slow to bolt and yielded better dark larger heads with crumpled leaf texture and good flavor.”
  • “The pak choi lasted two months longer in the garden (slow-to-bolt). It was edible even at temperatures near 100 degrees.”
  • “In our trial garden, this was one of the standouts.”
  • “The dark green compact plant would look great in home gardens, containers, professional landscapes for its ease of growth and long-standing beauty.”
  • “This Pak Choi was absolutely amazing in terms of “slow-to-bolt” traits!”
  • ” I was beyond impress with the long-standing quality.”

  1. Jeni Cullen, Eden Park, Cincinnati, OH – 12/17/2020

    I used this as a border plant in a display garden next to a parking lot. The tight, dark green, compact foliage made it easy to use in a pattern to distinctly separate the garden from the concrete. Since it was used as an ornamental and not an edible, the planting lasted from late spring until October without bolting.
