Tall Utah Celery Seeds, North American Crossbreed by Japanese/Chinese
Tall Utah celery produces long, thick, dark green stalks that are crisp, sweet, and flavorful, reaching heights of up to 50-75 cm (20-30 inches). This reliable, disease-resistant, and slow-to-bolt heirloom variety is known for its strong flavor, tight, well-formed hearts, and ability to hold its color and form for late-season harvest. No blanching is needed, making it a popular choice for both home gardens.
Utah Celery, specifically the "Tall Utah" variety, originated in Utah in the 1940s, developed by Chinese and Japanese gardeners who crossbred existing varieties to tolerate the region's alkali soils. This sturdy, tall, and sweet celery became a popular cash crop, featured on the White House Thanksgiving table from the 1920s to the 1940s due to its excellent quality and tolerance for Utah's conditions.
