This variety stands out for its \u003cstrong\u003edelicate and less bitter flavor\u003c\/strong\u003e compared to common friarielli, making it perfect for those seeking a more refined taste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the kitchen, both the \u003cstrong\u003etall and sturdy stems\u003c\/strong\u003e and the \u003cstrong\u003etender broccoli florets\u003c\/strong\u003e are used, ideal as a side dish seasoned with extra virgin olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and chili pepper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGrowing Characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExposure: Full Sun\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nPlants that prefer full sun require a south-facing exposure, with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day, even during the central 3-4 hours of summer. The exposure indicates how many hours of direct sunlight the plant needs for optimal growth. It can be full sun, partial shade, or shade, depending on the amount of natural light the plant needs to develop well and produce fruit. This information helps position the plants to encourage their growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest Time: 100 days\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe harvest time indicates how many days it takes for the fruit to be ready for picking (note: ripening may occur in different times than indicated, influenced by climatic factors, irrigation, and soil fertility).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTransplant Distance: 50x50\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe transplant distance is the space between plants at the time of planting, both in the row and between rows. A correct distance avoids competition for light and nutrients, promoting growth and production, while distances that are too close or too wide can negatively affect the quantity and quality of the fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction: 700 kg\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIndicates the average production of the plant under normal growing conditions. This value can vary depending on factors such as the harvest phase, fertilization practices, and climatic conditions. In the first harvests, production may be lower than the indicated values. Additionally, conditions such as drought, water shortage, temperature fluctuations, and poor or excessive nitrogen fertilization affect fruit growth, which may be above or below expectations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTips for Extended Harvest\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe ideal transplant period is between \u003cstrong\u003emid-August and September\u003c\/strong\u003e.

The production of new broccoli florets after the first is more abundant in fertile and well-fertilized soils and in mild climatic conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStrategy for staggered harvests:\u003c\/strong\u003e many gardeners perform 2 staggered transplants 2-3 weeks apart between mid-August and mid-September to achieve extended harvests.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Orto Mio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63746886369629,"sku":"H07C","price":4.6,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/2159\/2563\/files\/CavoloBroccoloBroccolodiNatale_100giorni.jpg?v=1772875775","url":"https:\/\/millstore.it\/en\/products\/christmas-broccoli-100-days-6-plants-orto-mio","provider":"Millstore.it","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
