Taking Green Asparagus Production to New Heights
Bred in the Continental climate of Ontario, Canada by the University of Guelph, the hybrid performs best in temperate and cool growing environments. The uniformity of medium sized diameter will potentially mean that the spears of Guelph Equinox can be harvested, sorted and packed more quickly than other varieties. It is a very high yielding asparagus cultivar and in addition, the hybrid produces these yields early in the life of the field plantations. Guelph Equinox is part of a new generation of hybrids that has improved spear qualities coupled with increased yields over previously standard types for green asparagus.
