Utah 52-70 Tall Improved Celery is one of the most popular improved American celery varieties, known for producing long, thick, and crisp stalks with excellent quality. It is a preferred choice for growers and home gardeners due to its good productivity and uniform stalk development, and it is also available as an organic seed variety.
It produces strong bunches of tall, dark green stalks with a crisp texture and balanced celery flavor. The aromatic green leaves can be used in cooking and for adding flavor to soups, salads, and juices. The stalks are known for their good height and size compared to many other celery varieties, making them suitable for fresh use and cooking.
This variety has vigorous growth and excellent uniformity, producing a good harvest when provided with suitable growing conditions. It prefers fertile, organic-rich soil with consistent moisture to encourage the development of large, full stalks.
In the Gulf countries, it is grown during the winter growing season. The best planting period is from September to November, starting seeds in trays during September and transplanting seedlings into the garden during October. Planting can continue until November to achieve good growth during the cooler and moderate months.
Seeds are best started in seedling trays and require time for germination and growth before transplanting. It prefers a location with full sun or partial shade, especially in areas with higher temperatures, while maintaining consistent soil moisture.
It usually reaches harvest approximately 90–100 days after transplanting, and stalks can be harvested once they reach the desired size.
Utah 52-70 Tall Improved Organic is an excellent choice for growers looking for a tall, vigorous celery variety with large, crisp stalks, suitable for home gardens, organic growing, and small-scale production.
