Beetroot Cylindra

Cylindra is an old Danish variety with deep tapered cylindrical red roots about 6-8 inches long. It is smooth-skinned with dark uniform purple-red flesh. The tops are small and reddish-green in colour. Cylindra has tender flesh, with a sweet flavour. The roots are ideal for cutting into uniform slices (it is sometimes called Butter Slicer). Gives high yields within small areas.
