Belstar is a reliable broccoli for both spring and fall plantings, valued for its tolerance to heat and cold. It produces an early 5–6” light green main head with small, tight beads, followed by abundant side shoots for extended harvests. The flavor is sweet and succulent, and mature heads hold well on the plant for over a week. Belstar performs well into fall and can withstand mild freezes. Resistant to downy mildew, fusarium yellows, and heat stress. Ready to harvest in approximately 60 days.Category: Brassicas
