Known for its tall and sturdy stalks and strong vigour. Tall Utah can grow up to 76 (30") tall, with good heart development and strong roots. The thick stalks are sweet and crunchy.
Overall plant height can be up to 75cm (30"), with the first joint appearing 26-28cm (10-11") up on the plants. It holds its form and colour in the field well, and is strongly flavoured for use in the kitchen. Tall Utah 52-70 is recommended for home garden as well as commercial farm use, and produces impressive stalks with good market potential. It first appeared on the market in 1953, so technically it's an heirloom variety.
