Description

  • 100% male variety for superior asparagus spears
  • Uniform spears that are easy to harvest
  • Ideal for growing in cool and temperate conditions
  • Suitable for forcing to give you white spears
  • 5 crowns delivered to you in spring, ready for planting

Grow asparagus Aspalim on your plot, a new all-male variety, ideal for home-growing in the UK. Bred to grow well in cool and temperate conditions it’s perfect for plots up and down the country. At harvest time every plant gives you smooth, thick, uniform spears for easy harvesting and preparation in the kitchen.

Aspalim is suitable for forcing if you like succulent, white asparagus spears. Simply cover your crowns with a forcing pot to keep out the light. This turns your spears white and gives them a more tender texture than green asparagus.

We suggest you leave asparagus spears to grow on and establish in the first year. This encourages your plants to put down a good set of roots. Healthy roots promote more spears to pop up in subsequent years, increasing your yields season after season.

Also available as 10 crowns - click here to view.

Crown Age and Bed Establishment

These crowns are 1 year old and will be in their 2nd year as you plant them this spring. Usually, an asparagus bed takes 3 years to start to be productive if planted with crowns. Best not to harvest any spears in year 1 and maybe 2. If in year 2 there are a lot of spears then the bed is productive, if only a handful, do not cut them and leave them in the ground. The reason for doing this is the energy of the plant needs to be focussed on increasing root volume and getting established, rather than energy into spear production. If you keep cutting the spears the plant will naturally want to produce more, rather than producing roots. This will in the long term produce a stronger plant and will produce heavier crops in subsequent seasons.
