Sugar Head is a late-maturing cabbage variety of Ukrainian origin, known for its high yield and resilience to growing conditions. The plant forms large, round heads weighing between 3 and 4.5 kg, featuring a short stem and dense structure with no internal voids. The outer leaves are small, wavy at the edges, and dark green, giving the crop an attractive appearance. The variety is designed for summer-autumn cultivation cycles and is well-suited for transplanting seedlings into open ground, especially on clay loam soils rich in organic matter.
This cabbage variety is characterized by a long vegetative period ranging from 150 to 165 days, ensuring a reliable harvest of up to 108 tons of marketable product per hectare. The crop is resistant to most diseases and pests, though it requires monitoring of soil pH levels and preventive pest control treatments. The yield withstands transportation well and can be stored for up to 7 months without loss of taste or market quality, making it versatile for both fresh market use and processing.
Sugar Head is valued for its excellent taste qualities and ability to maintain marketability over an extended period. Thanks to the dense structure of the heads and high yield, this variety is an optimal choice for farmers and gardeners seeking a stable and high-quality cabbage harvest with the capability for long-term storage and convenient transportation.
