Timperley Early

Vegetable

Timperley Early

S tier

Timperley Early is a prized UK variety for very early slender stalks, often forced for pale pink winter-spring crops with delicate tartness. Outdoor plants also break early. Flavour is bright and slightly finer than heavy maincrop types. Force under pots for tender pink stems; or enjoy first outdoor pulls. Ideal when early rhubarb prices and flavour matter. A Yorkshire Triangle-era favourite spirit in gardens nationwide.
