🌿 Botanical Description

Asparagus Argentalskaya has both male and female flowers, with the maximum number of fruits observed on male stems. However, these stems have a disadvantage – they are relatively thin. The main advantage of the Argental asparagus is its rapid maturation, with shoots emerging in May and bearing fruit within a short period. The height of the bush is 1.5-2 m, and it has a fleshy rhizome that perfectly tolerates even frosts. 40-50 buds appear on the rhizome for a whole year, allowing for continuous harvesting. The shoots are 1.5-2 cm in width and germinate by 3 cm during the day.
