“ It is photoperiod insensitive, meaning it does not rely on day-length to trigger flowering. It is also a relatively early ripener, maturing in as little as 90 days, so it has more potential for cultivation in northern climates than the 'Everglades 41' variety we've previously offered.
In the spirit of experimentation, we hope growers across the country will try growing this once-and-future crop of great importance. We are particularly curious to learn how far north this variety will set seed, so please get in touch and let us know how it does for you!
Our seed comes from Bob Lawrason of Kenaf Partners USA.”
