Cylindra beet is a unique, cylindrical variety prized for its uniform shape and sweet, tender flesh. Ideal for slicing and canning, this beet matures in about 55-60 days. Plant in well-drained, fertile soil with full sun exposure. Sow seeds 1 inch apart and thin seedlings to 3-4 inches to allow for growth. Cylindra beets are known for their long, narrow roots, which make them easy to harvest and prepare. Consistent moisture is key for optimal growth. The greens are also edible and can be used in salads or sautéed. This variety is perfect for gardeners seeking high yields and easy processing.
