Gesche is a round beetroot variety with a smooth skin and dark red interior. Leaves of medium vigour and fine leaf nodes on the root. Homogenous and well set roots. The variety can be harvested by hand or with the harvesting machine. Stores very well. Sweet, pleasant taste. Also available as precision seed (calibrated).
Recommended alternative for beetroot Ronjana [G338], which has been discontinued from our range.
