Palco
A tier
Palco is a hybrid spinach bred for downy-mildew resistance packages and uniform semi-savoy leaves suited to fresh market and baby-leaf programmes. Flavour is mild modern spinach; growth is fast and even under professional management. Resistance traits matter more in the field than on the plate but deliver cleaner harvests. Use raw or wilted like any quality spinach. Hybrid uniformity helps bagged product. Rotate crops still—resistance is not immunity forever as races evolve.
