About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
You have a modern F1 hybrid for summer cultivation, ‚Burbank F1’, that still sets dense, even heads even under heat and drought stress. It forms a strong main crown and then produces good side heads. Thanks to its heat tolerance, it is a good choice when early varieties shoot too quickly in mid-summer. Plant it from May to July for a harvest over late summer.
You will find it mild and fine, with a juicy crown. It remains firm when cooked briefly and keeps its rich green.
