Description

UC-157 asparagus is the benchmark for dependable, high-yield asparagus production, developed for uniform spear quality and strong adaptability. Its deep green spears, often tipped with a soft violet hue, are straight, tightly budded, and exceptionally tender from tip to base.

This modern variety was bred for early vigor, heat tolerance, and disease resistance—performing well across a range of climates from cool northern zones to warm southern fields. Once established, the crowns produce abundant harvests for 12–15 years, delivering consistently high yields and superior texture with a mild, nutty-sweet flavor.

UC-157 remains a favorite among both commercial growers and home gardeners for its combination of reliability, beauty, and gourmet eating quality—proving that precision breeding and timeless flavor can coexist in perfect balance.
