Season Overview

Description

This professional top cultivar produces high yields of round tubers with a small root set, which facilitates cleaning. Its white firm flesh is easy to slice and does not discolor during processing. The taste is mildly spicy and very pleasant. Resistance to shooting, which is triggered by too low temperatures after planting (early June), is crucial for growing success. The tubers can be stored for a long time in a cool cellar. The variety 'Prinz' is also known for the strong spicy flavor of its fresh foliage, which can be harvested as early as July (forgoing the development of large tubers). Celery leaves and tubers are used as soup greens. 'Prince' can be grown not only outdoors but also in greenhouses and under foil.
