harvest period. This mid-early broccoli performs
well for late summer and fall harvests in the
Northeastern US and
Eastern Canada, as well December through mid-January harvests in

This mid-season broccoli performs well in the
Northeastern US and
Southeastern Canada, and has handled
warmer temperatures and kept its medium-sized beads
tight when other varieties’ florets have spread

uniformity. In the main season planting slot,

varieties have faded.
