Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A self-blanching variety with beautiful apple-green, smooth stems, good flavor and texture for that all important celery crunch. Supposedly does not get stringy. Plant in well-prepared and very fertilized soil allowing 15 inches between each plant. It is essential to keep the plants well watered for succulently flavored, string free stem. Luckily, by growing celery during the Winter rainy season, it is easy to keep the plants well-watered. However do not grow in areas of serious frost since this will make them bolt. If also grown in the Spring, Celery 'Tango' has good bolting resistance and stands well during hot weather for reliable crops.
