Skytree is an 'easy floret’ variety with a segmented head allowing for easier preparation. It is a novel addition to our Seminis broccoli portfolio. Skytree is part of our ‘Easy Floret’ range which benefits both grower and consumer due to its easy harvest and easy preparation. It matures approximately 5 days earlier than Ironman, has less yellow halo on the florets and has a sweeter stem than traditional broccoli varieties. Skytree has great potential to be mechanically harvested due to the reduced number of leaves and its excellent harvest uniformity.
