The roots grow close together without interfering with one another, so you can harvest significantly more per metre of row than with round varieties. Its small leaf rosette makes dense cultivation and weeding easier.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe flesh is dark red and fine-grained, without lighter rings, with a high dry-matter, sugar and betanin content – ideal for horseradish beetroot, juices and pickles, where colour and sweetness matter. The variety is early, but sowing from mid-May to the end of June produces firm, well-storing roots for an autumn and winter harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"color: #5C3727; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eStep-by-step cultivation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003eSowing (mid-April – end of June, directly outdoors):\u003c\/strong\u003e sow the seeds (clusters from which several seedlings emerge) in rows 30–40 cm apart, every 3–5 cm within the row, at a depth of 2–3 cm. The soil should be at least 8–10°C; seedlings emerge after 10–14 days. For an autumn and winter harvest, sow from mid-May to the end of June.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003eThinning:\u003c\/strong\u003e when the seedlings have 2–3 leaves, thin them so that the plants are 8–10 cm apart. The young beetroots you pull out, including their leaves, are suitable for salads and beet greens – nothing goes to waste.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003eCultivation:\u003c\/strong\u003e beetroot prefers fertile, deeply cultivated, not-too-heavy soil, ideally in the second year after manure (fresh manure causes the roots to fork). A near-neutral pH of around 6.5–7 is best; on acidic soils, liming in autumn is recommended. It does not tolerate shade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003eCare and harvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e weed regularly and water during dry spells – even moisture produces smooth roots that do not become woody. Harvest for immediate use from July; for storage, dig up the beetroots in October, before severe frosts, twist off the leaves and store them in a cellar in damp sand at 1–4°C.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"color: #5C3727; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eUses\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCylindra is a beetroot \u003cstrong\u003efor preserving\u003c\/strong\u003e par excellence: even slices for jars, horseradish beetroot, pickled beetroot, beet kvass and borscht with a deep colour.

This is normal, but in full sun the root’s exposed shoulder can become hard and turn grey. Simply earth up the plants lightly once or twice during the season, using soil or mulch, and the entire root will remain smooth and juicy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"color: #5C3727; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse;\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth style=\"background-color: #5C3727; color: #fff; text-align: left; padding: 8px 12px; width: 40%;\"\u003eLatin name\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003eBeta vulgaris var. conditiva\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth style=\"background-color: #5C3727; color: #fff; text-align: left; padding: 8px 12px; width: 40%;\"\u003eVariety\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003eCylindra\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth style=\"background-color: #5C3727; color: #fff; text-align: left; padding: 8px 12px; width: 40%;\"\u003eRoot colour\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003edark red\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth style=\"background-color: #5C3727; color: #fff; text-align: left; padding: 8px 12px; width: 40%;\"\u003ePosition\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003esunny\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth style=\"background-color: #5C3727; color: #fff; text-align: left; padding: 8px 12px; width: 40%;\"\u003eSeasonality\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003ebiennial plant, grown as an annual\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth style=\"background-color: #5C3727; color: #fff; text-align: left; padding: 8px 12px; width: 40%;\"\u003eSowing outdoors\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003emid-April – end of June (for storage: mid-May – end of June)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth style=\"background-color: #5C3727; color: #fff; text-align: left; padding: 8px 12px; width: 40%;\"\u003eHarvest period\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003eJuly – October\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth style=\"background-color: #5C3727; color: #fff; text-align: left; padding: 8px 12px; width: 40%;\"\u003eSpacing\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e30–40 × 8–10 cm\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth style=\"background-color: #5C3727; color: #fff; text-align: left; padding: 8px 12px; width: 40%;\"\u003eSowing depth\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e2–3 cm\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth style=\"background-color: #5C3727; color: #fff; text-align: left; padding: 8px 12px; width: 40%;\"\u003eNet weight\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e25 g (20 g + 5 g free, ~1,300 seed clusters)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth style=\"background-color: #5C3727; color: #fff; text-align: left; padding: 8px 12px; width: 40%;\"\u003eSeries\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003eTraditional\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth style=\"background-color: #5C3727; color: #fff; text-align: left; padding: 8px 12px; width: 40%;\"\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd style=\"padding: 8px 12px; border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003eW.
