Parsnip
Internationally parsnip roots are described according to their general shape and form as shown in the schematic picture below. In additional varieties are classified as having generally long, medium or short roots.
Albion F1
Albion has a very white skin finish which is noticeably slow to discolour. Roots are of an obovate shape which taper nicely, filling well down the root length making it suitable for retail trade and also popular for processing. Albion produces heavy yields and is suitable for early to main season sowing with lifting from autumn to mid winter.
Archer F1
A heavier 'bolder' parsnip of more traditional obovate to broad obtriangular shape. Long uniform roots with the traditional parsnip off white /pale cream colour. Best sown in the main spring period and lifted before January.
Cobham Improved Marrow
Good resistance to canker. Refined shape and smooth white skin. Holds well for late harvest.
Gladiator F1
Gladiator presents a refined regular obovate root shape with white skin and strong resistance to root canker. It is very early bulking and is ideal for lifting through to late autumn in the UK.
Javelin F1
Consistent, reliable, flexible and very well proven Javelin is probably the most commercially successful Parsnip variety ever. Javelin produces an obtriangular slender wedge shaped root; ideal for the pre-pack market. Shallow to level crowns make for easy cleaning and the skin appearance is white to very light cream in colour with excellent canker resistance. Javelin can be sown throughout the sowing year and its tremendous field holding capacity means it can be cropped almost continually from July to June.
