We're in Berrima, Southern Highlands, NSW. We grow this variety in our flourishing school garden at Berrima Public School. Highly recoomended. Sweet and neat in size and shape.

I grew this beetroot this year alongside a variety that I have grown for years. However having cooked both in the one batch, I was delighted with the sweetness and intensity of flavour of this one. Not as consistent with producing good sized bulbs as other varieties but the flavour makes up for this.
