As the name suggests, a long, slim, cylindrical shaped beetroot, with a dark red colour to both the outer smooth skin and the inner sweet tasting flesh. Ideal variety for slicing. Matures medium early.
A range of uses, including fresh sales, processing, roadside (farm shop) and pick-your-own, and also becoming increasingly popular as a ‘mini-veg’. Approximately 40-100 seeds per gram. Sow mid March-July, or under glass in January-February to crop May onwards. Germinates between 8 and 25°C. Sowing rate 5 kilos per hectare for early bunching crops, 10 kilos per hectare for the fresh market maincrop, 15 kilos per hectare for pickling and mini beet. Monogerm varieties have only one seed per fruit and therefore require less thinning; drill at 650,000 seeds per hectare.
