Know before you buy
Jersey Supreme is bred for speed and typically allows for a full harvest just one year after planting, which is significantly faster than many traditional varieties.
All-male hybrids do not expend energy producing seeds or berries. Instead, they direct all that energy into growing larger, more abundant spears, resulting in higher yields for your garden.
Yes, this hybrid is highly adaptable and hardy in zones 2 through 9. It is specifically engineered to tolerate cold snaps and various soil conditions, making it a reliable choice for many regions.
You can produce white asparagus by blanching the spears. Simply cover the emerging shoots with soil, mulch, or a light-blocking cover to prevent photosynthesis, which keeps the spears white and tender.
Each plant will reach a mature width of about 2 feet. Ensure you provide enough room for the foliage to spread, as this will help the plant store energy for future harvests.
With proper care, Jersey Supreme is a long-lived perennial that can remain productive for 15 years or more. It is a significant investment for a home vegetable garden.
