Cabbage Conquistador

$4.00$68.00

Conquistador has developed a remarkable track record of superb performance becoming one of the leading varieties in Southern Africa. Conquistador is widely adapted and an easy to grow hybrid. Plants are large, vigorous and wrapper leaves cover the heads very well. Heads are uniform and very firm. Field holding ability after maturity is exceptional, making it perfectly suited to be used as an overwintering variety in many areas. Heads have a deep blue-green colour and an excellent flavour. Conquistador is widely used as both a bagging and hawker cabbage. It is a favourite with hawkers due to the large plant, wrapper leaves, head size, sweet taste and excellent shelf life. Conquistador has intermediate resistance to Fusarium yellows (Foc).

Special varietal requirements
Conquistador is able to tolerate both heat in summer and the cold throughout the winter months very well. Highly suited to the cooler times of the year – should ideally mature into autumn and early winter in cool areas and through winter in frost-free areas. Cold tolerance is excellent. However, heads should be mature before the first frost occurs
