About Jersey Giant Asparagus
Jersey Giant asparagus has recently appeared in my local garden centers. An old gardening book mentioned that asparagus was first introduced to America by colonists in the 1600s. I recall my brother-in-law harvesting crops from a ditch near his home! In 1985, Jersey Giant asparagus became available for home growers. While all hybrid varieties are reliable, many gardeners favor Jersey Giant for its abundant yield of male plants and tender, flavorful spears. This variety is resistant to asparagus rust and fusarium rot, making it one of the most winter-hardy options. Its foliage, growing up to 5 feet tall, displays various shades of green. Jersey Giant asparagus, known for its large, delicious spears, can be enjoyed on its own as a vegetable or incorporated into more elaborate dishes. The plant will grow in hardiness zones 3-10.
