Safir Cutting Celery
- Tall, dark and robust. Greens
tender with a rich aroma and a
not-too-pronounced celery taste.
Sturdy foliage and flavor
regenerates quickly after cutting.
Imparts the same flavor to stews and
soups as conventional celery.
Although its culture is the same, it
is much hardier and easier to grow.
Both its thin hollow stems and its
leaves can be used fresh or dried.
Ventura
–
Fedco is thrilled to welcome back
Ventura, last offered in 2007.
Ventura takes the difficulty out of
growing celery. Develops beautiful
thick crisp stalks with rich, but
never harsh, flavor even in less
than ideal conditions. Because it
has some tolerance to fusarium,
Ventura rarely develops the punky
centers that sometimes plague other
varieties. Demeter-certified
biodynamic seed but not certified
organic.
Tango
-
The dance originated in South
America but the celery is from Bejo
in Holland. Adam Tomash and June
Zellers, who year after year grow
astounding celery, selected Tango as
the star of their trial. Impressed
with the variety’s compact
architecture and absence of punky
centers, they grew unbelievably
massive dense plants even in close
spacing. They say Tango is almost as
nice as Ventura without quite as
good disease resistance. Once you
taste its smooth tender sweet nearly
stringless stalks, you’re going to
want this dance.
Utah -
Crunchy and stringless, this
vigorous green variety has thick,
well-rounded stalks and tightly
folded hearts.
Golden Self Blanching
-
This variety grows 25 to 30 inches
tall and is full-hearted with pale
yellow/green stalks. The crunchy, 9
inch ribs are extra large and thick,
without strings. Delicious! |
