Brassica oleracea (Kohlrabi) Kondor F1 – reliable and strong kohlrabi
Brassica oleracea 'Kondor F1' is a reliable and robust kohlrabi distinguished by its excellent vigor, stress resistance, and consistent quality throughout the entire summer season. This white kohlrabi is particularly suitable for gardeners seeking trouble-free cultivation with a stable yield, even under varying weather conditions.
Kondor F1 is known as a very reliable kohlrabi that performs well throughout the entire season. One of the biggest advantages of this variety is that it does not crack easily (platzfest), even with fluctuations in moisture or growing conditions. This ensures beautiful, uniform bulbs of excellent quality.
In addition, this variety is highly resistant to drought stress, making it particularly suitable for summer growing periods when water is not always abundantly available. This makes Kondor F1 a safe choice for both novice and experienced vegetable gardeners.
Suitable for summer, late summer, and autumn
Although Kondor F1 can be grown throughout the entire growing season, this kohlrabi comes into its own particularly well in late summer and autumn. The plant maintains steady growth and delivers a consistent yield, even when conditions are less than ideal.
The harvest takes place approximately 60 days after sowing, depending on the time of sowing and weather conditions. You can harvest from late July to early November, ensuring a long and flexible harvest period.
Healthy growth and strong leaves
The plant develops a sturdy, dark green canopy that contributes to good photosynthesis and strong growth. This results in compact, juicy tubers with a fresh taste and a fine texture.
The tubers remain tender and low in fiber, making them ideal for both raw and cooked applications.
Cultivation and sowing
For best results, pre-cultivation is recommended. The sowing period runs from March to mid-July, with an ideal germination temperature of 15–20 °C.
After propagation, the young plants can be planted out in the open ground. Maintain a planting distance of approximately 30 x 20 cm. This relatively compact spacing allows for efficient use of the available space in the vegetable garden.
Kondor F1 grows best in a sunny to lightly shaded location and in well-drained, nutritious soil.
Care and maintenance
Kohlrabi is a fairly low-maintenance vegetable. Regular watering is important, especially during dry periods, although Kondor F1 is more drought-resistant than many other varieties.
Even growth prevents the tubers from becoming woody. Thanks to their crack resistance, you need to worry less about sudden rainfall or growth fluctuations.
Although kohlrabi is less demanding than some other cabbage varieties, this plant also benefits from light fertilization with compost or organic fertilizer.
Harvest and use
The tubers are ready for harvest when they have a nice, round shape and are still young and tender. Letting them grow too long can affect the structure, so timely harvesting is important.
Kondor F1 is versatile in the kitchen and can be used in various ways:
- Raw in salads or as a snack
- Steamed or boiled as a side vegetable
- In stir-fry dishes
- In soups and stews
The taste is mild, slightly sweet, and refreshing, which makes kohlrabi a beloved vegetable.
With the Kondor F1 kohlrabi, you choose a strong, reliable, and low-maintenance vegetable that delivers excellent results throughout the entire season. An ideal choice for those who want to enjoy a consistent harvest and a versatile, flavorful vegetable from their own garden.
