10 Asparagus Roots Jersey Supreme - Male Dominate - Tasty - No GMOs

Bought these artichokes and asparagus for my spring plantings. I tore my old artichokes out because they weren't productive so hopefully these will be. I ordered 5 globes and 5 Imperial stars and the package that arrived a few days later had 6 globes and 12 Imperial stars. They were taped nicely into their small plastic containers and all were alive. I planted 3 of the plants in my garden and potted 7 more. They all survived the transplant and are growing nicely which is a sign there were healthy sprouts when they were shipped. So far so goo. I hate to throw the other plants aways but I ran out of pots.The asparagus was in a 1-gallon plastic bag and had about 10 root balls with mature 12-inch long roots. I just planted them so we'll see how they produce.

Only one weak strand took. We'll see next spring whether anything at all comes up. We were all prepared to wait at least two years before picking so we would have good strong roots, but I don't think the roots were viable when they arrived.8-2-18 Update: We were too impatient. We now have eight or nine little fronds. If they make It through the mild winter in north-central AZ, we may get some asparagus next year. At least they were viable when planted.

Several crowns were pretty small and a couple didn't come up.

Took off a star because four didn't "take", but two years later I am eating asparagus from the plants I bought. The ones that made it are quite productive and very tasty. I would buy again if I decide to fill in the spots that are empty, but I have read that they spread, so we will see. They seem to really love compost and mulch.

I received my triple order in great shape - soaked the crowns in warm water for at least an hour, as instructed, and got them into the trenches. While there were only a couple tips showing on the crowns when I planted them, within 3 days, there were delicate spears on all but 2 crowns. I'm very pleased with the crowns and can only hope I continue to pamper them correctly into a permanent bed for many years of enjoyment. The planting instructions were straightforward, plus I did a little extra research since I'd never made an asparagus bed before, so am very very pleased with the results.Now, on the 13th of August, there are 110 stalks of asparagus ferning. I would definitely recommend this product. Looking forward to next year!UPDATE: May 6, 2016 So far in spite of warm weather being slow in coming, I can already confirm that 20 crowns have survived the winter and have spears sprouting from them. Again, very pleased! The spears are nice sized ones in diameter, so looking forward to good eating!

Was not thrilled with these. Planted in 2016 and not many came up. Some were my fault - planted in area with not enough sun. But the one batch was in full sun and they grew up enough that I could fill in the bed but then they sort of gave up, even with sufficient fertilizer and water. This year of the 6 that were came up only 4 have come back and not that well. Pretty sure these were not as advanced crowns as they were advertised. Looks like it will take at least 2 more years before we will be able to get our first harvest.

I live in zone 8b in Oregon and ordered these with the idea that if I put them in the ground in summer, they will get established and hopefully I can harvest this coming spring. The roots arrived on time. I left the package on my kitchen counter for a few days and I'm not sure if it was that or the packing material they used (mix of sawdust/dirt?) that caused mold/fungus, but there was some mold/fungus stuff in the bag. But, the mold was not on the roots themselves, just around them in the packing material.The roots themselves were big and healthy looking. I planted them on July 23rd and more than half have already sent up spears/sprouts. (clearly the mold/fungus in the bag didn't impact them negatively) So far I'm very happy with how things are going, especially considering the price point for these.I'll try to remember to update this review in spring of 2017, but so far so good!

Followed the directions. Tilled a 3x12 plot, dug out the clay, and replaced with potting soil 50%, sand 30%, and peat humus 20%. Planted on a Saturday morning. Rained several times during the week. All 10 plants were at least 6" high by the next Saturday. After two weeks, the whole patch is full of asparagus still coming up, and some that is already branching out to grab sun for next springs crop. Highly recommend.Update: 03/01/2018 - New spears growing and already 12" high. Per place of purchase, was advised I could begin cutting them, since this is the third year on two year roots. Was worried the monsoon last month with 10 inches of rain might have flooded them out, but they are growing greatlUpdate 4/2021 - Still growing and giving me LOTS of thumb thick spears for weeks. Going to expand the patch
