The most important characteristics of High Rise™
- Uniform maturity
- Fewer large leaves leading to a cleaner stem
- Competitive yield and crown quality
- Improved crown visibility for a better and easier harvest
- Suitable for machine harvest
In 2016, we decided to dedicate a separate brand just to these types of broccoli and the High Rise™ brand was born. With High Rise™ the sky is the limit and all varieties across the globe within this brand are named after tall buildings. From this unique set of Seminis genetics growers can harvest broccoli crowns that are firm and heavy. Uniform maturity, competitive yield and consistent product quality means High Rise™ can give less harvest passes improving crop profitability.
