Asparagus Crowns online

Having been the major supplier of asparagus crowns to the UK’s commercial growers for twenty-five years, we have extended the availability to gardeners both large and small. Our crowns are grown by a family company – Teboza BV – situated near Helden in Southern Holland where they have been growers of asparagus for some 50 years producing some 2 million kilos per year. Teboza have been the major supplier of crowns to the UK for the past 20 years and supply much of Europe and many countries in the rest of the world. In 2003 the company won the top Dutch Horticultural Company award.

The number of varieties suitable for green asparagus has increased from four to over twenty in the last five years that we grow to order for our commercial growers. From these we have selected the most popular choices of our commercial growers and the most suitable for garden and smaller growers for our online sales to offer as an early and a maincrop option.
The early variety will be either Gynlim, a reliable proven early or Aspalim, an increasingy popular new variety with our growers. For maincrop we shall be offering Guelph varieties as either Millenium, Equinox or Eclipse.

The UK climate is ideal for growing the best tasting asparagus due to its relatively slow growth compared to the imported product.We distribute the crowns from our Norfolk farm in late March and throughout April. Planting should be completed by the end of April if practical, but it is more important to plant into well-prepared free draining ground when the soil is warm and moist as they are going to be in production for 10 years plus. Crowns can be kept moist in the dark, at 5 degrees C or less until an ideal planting time.

So whether you are a smallholder, an allotment grower, a vegetable gardener or simply into the Good Life, A Grade Asparagus will supply you with many years of the healthiest top-quality crop.
