Adder High Quality Broccoli Variety

Adder Broccoli VarietyWe believe we have a high quality broccoli variety in ADDER. Lefroy Valley have been developing ADDER for the last 3 years and we are awaiting our first commercial seed production. ADDER is a versatile Iron maturity type with a very strong upright plant style and the head set medium deep in the plant.

ADDER maturity is 8-10 days later than our summer variety VIPER. ADDER has good heat tolerance producing heavy heads, which hold density up to 120mm head diameter. ADDER has a medium to large stem and requires minimal trimming.

ADDER – has medium size beads with a medium high domed head and is medium to dark green in colour. It has shown good disease tolerance. Our best results have been seen under warm climate conditions for the harvest period early summer through to autumn. In the upper north we have had promising results in early winter.

Maturity (depends on planting region)

Summer maturity: 65 – 75 days
Autumn maturity: 75 – 80 days
Early Winter maturity: 85-95 days
