“Summit produces the best quality spear I have seen in my 40 years of breeding asparagus. In the past we have used UC 157 as the gold standard for green asparagus but Summit far surpasses UC157 in both spear quality and yield. Pacific Summit sets a new standard for spear quality. Summit is a top performer in Asia, Central America and New Zealand which means it is adapted to growing in a wide range of environments. Since the seed of Summit is free of asparagus viruses, fields of Pacific Summit will tolerate the ravages of Fusarium decline, staying highly productive for longer.”
