High Rise™ Broccoli

Raised head type with less harvest passes 

High Rise™ broccoli is a concept which Seminis has been working on since the early 1980s. Our Breeders' vision was to provide our growers with broccoli varieties which could be mechanically harvested across the globe.

 

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.

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
