About this variety

Machine-translated, may contain errors.

Instead of round balls, ‚Cylindra’ forms 15 to 20 cm long, cylindrical roots that grow half above ground. This makes harvesting easy and gives you many evenly sized slices when cutting, ideal for pickling and for long-term storage. It is seed stable, shelf stable, and needs a slightly wider row spacing than round types.

Strongly sweet and deeply earthy, with a fine aroma. The even slices cook nicely through and retain their color well.
