Spinnaker is a new variety in our portfolio with the potential to replace Ironman for Autumn harvest. Spinnaker is very uniform to mature, very easy to harvest and has good tolerance to hollow stem, crown rot and systemic downy mildew. This variety has outperformed Ironman as regards yield potential for Autumn harvest and also has finer beads, less bracting and a greener head colour.
- Good tolerance to systemic downy mildew, alternaria and crown rot
- Similar timing to Ironman offering a replacement in Autumn with improved quality and yield
