 PACIFIC GREEN REVIEW

“I named this new hybrid Pacific Green because of the beautiful green spear it
produces. Pacific Green is performing exceptionally well in southern Europe
and will be an excellent variety for asparagus growers in that region. Like all
our hybrids of green asparagus, seed of Pacific Green is certified free of
asparagus viruses, which is important in prolonging the life of asparagus fields.
Asparagus virus 2 makes the plants more susceptible to Fusarium rot so
having access to virus-free seed is the key to reducing the effect of this
debilitating disease.”
