Highly uniform and vigorous refined F1 scarlet turnip

Ajibeni is our recommended replacement for Scarlet Queen. Supplied by the same breeder, it has superior uniformity and vigour.
Scarlet/pink turnips with sweet, juicy white flesh.
Internal pink splashes of colour add to the appeal when sliced.
Resistant to White rust and Clubroot
Best when harvested at 6-9cm in diameter.
Try them with white salad turnip for a bunch with nice colour contrast.
CULTURE: Turnips are tolerant of moderate frost as seedlings in spring, and as mature plants in fall. Turnips prefer a fertile, well-drained soil, with a pH of 6.0-7.5. Sow early spring through late summer in a 5-10cm wide band, seeds 2.5cm apart for small turnips or 5cm apart for larger turnips. Sow 6-12mm deep in rows 30-45 apart. INSECT PESTS: Floating row covers installed at the time of sowing will keep the turnips free of insect pests, including root maggots.
INTENSIVE SPACING: 6 rows per bed spaced every 5cm on the row
