Came as advertised, I put them in the refrigerator, didn’t unwrap them right away, because I didn’t read that part. So, maybe a little bit of mold, but that’s my fault. They are coming up without any problem, looking forward to asparagus in a few years.

Very healthy and actually started producing quickly which I did not expect!

Asparagus roots were delivered to our metal mailbox and the temp that day was 76. That doesn't sound too high of a temp but inside the metal mail box the temp got hotter. Roots were good Quality.Buyers should ask that mdse be delivered to your house.

I ordered these and planted them straight into the ground in May, in zone 6a, and had sprouts within a few weeks! I let them go to fern this year as they were very skinny and need an extra year to mature , so hoping for a good harvest next year!! I’d say about 50% of these crowns produced spears this year! Maybe more will pop up next year.

First off, I’m only giving a low rating to catch the attention of the seller and get a response. If I receive a logical explanation, the review will be modified accordingly.I’ve been farming for decades, but is my first time trying to grow asparagus. I’m adding photos so customers will see what this question/review is about. Which leads me to my question… There is a huge difference between the largest and smallest crowns in the package I received. Huge difference. Unless something went horribly awry in the commercial asparagus plot, how is it possible for the largest and smallest crowns that I received to both be 2nd year crowns? Which one is closer to the average size of the 2nd year crowns? They arrived in great shape, some even starting to sprout. Let’s get that straight for sure. No issues on the health of the plant whatsoever. But looking at my photos, the size difference has me baffled. Is the largest a true 2nd year crown? Maybe one that actually stayed in the grow bed for a full 24 months compared to the smallest which may have only had just calendar years to mature? Like germinated in December of 2021 and sold as a 2nd year crown in March of 2023? I’m not trying to be degrading towards the seller in any way as they have a fantastic reputation and I plan to do business with them again in the future. I’m just questioning the goods I purchased as something just seems a little odd here. Thanks for sending 2 extra, by the way. But in all honesty I need to know what I had delivered to me. I don’t want to be full-on harvesting two years from now from crowns that might not actually be 2nd year crowns and degrade the plants ability to produce to its full potential, if that makes sense? Again, no disrespect to the seller intended. That’s not the intention of my review. I just want to be reassured with complete honesty what was delivered to my door. If you’re not sure their 2nd year crowns, that’s fine they’re already in the ground. I’ll treat them as 1st year crowns and move on. If they are, that’s fine as well. Half the shipment just seems smaller than 2nd year crowns that I’ve seen elsewhere.Edit: I’m adding photos I took this morning (3/27/23), 13 days after planting. Super healthy crowns, but still no idea whether they’re all 2 year crowns or not.Troy/54/Tx

Purchased these asparagus roots several times (for several beds) and have multitudes of plants! They performed well and are now generating their own seeds in one of my beds! LOTS of beautiful spears (GREAT-tasting) but be sure NOT to pick the first year in order to generate a good harvest the next year!

I bought these two years ago and this year had amazing shoots. Love it
