Javelin

A tier

Javelin is a hybrid parsnip with slender, spear-like smooth roots aimed at pre-pack and premium fresh sales—uniform length, white skin, and sweet flesh that looks elegant on retail shelves. Canker resistance and even germination support commercial schedules. Flavour is clean-sweet with classic parsnip perfume. Roast whole slim roots for presentation; or cut even batons. Popular where pack weight and appearance matter as much as field yield. Hybrid seed dependent.
