About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
A modern F1 hybrid, ‚Gladiator F1’, with smooth, uniform white roots and especially reliable, vigorous growth, it also germinates well even under less ideal conditions. Its increased resistance to leaf spot disease makes it low-maintenance, the flavor is pleasantly sweet and fine. You can harvest it from late summer and store it well. As a hybrid it is not seed-propagatable, for seed production you are better off using a seed-stable variety such as ‚Halblange Weiße’.
You will find it cleanly sweet and finely aromatic, without bitter notes, ideal for puree.
