Flavour: An excellent flavour, nice garlic aroma when cut. Hot rich flavour raw, sweet and nutty when roasted.

Storage: Short to medium storage, 4-5 months.

Growing : Grows well in most garlic growing regions of Australia from Northern NSW to Tasmania on the East coast. SA and mid to southern WA.

Normal growing conditions, but need to keep an eye on it near harvest (especially in warmer more humid climates) as it goes very quickly from nearly ready to harvest, to past the best time to harvest. If you leaves them too long the skins will split. Also make sure it gets adequate water during bulb swell.

Plants mature quickly with rapid bulb development just before harvest. In warmer regions its essential to harvest as soon as the bulbs are large enough to avoid badly split skins and also side shooting. In cooler regions you have more time. In mild to warm climate the plants weaken near maturity and in some seasons they can lean or fall over. In cool climates the plants tend to remain strong.

Planting & Harvest: Early planting and early harvest.
