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.

CELERY

Some gardeners will find growing celery difficult, as it has a longer growing season, and can be a bit finicky with a high level of temperature sensitivity. Celery needs ample sun, plenty of water, and balanced nutrients for fast growth. Celery can be started indoors before the season, or sown directly as a summer crop. It may require some additional support to keep the bunches together while growing. While celery is hardy to light freezes, daytime temperaturess should ideally stay moderate. To prevent pests, use insect netting early in the season. Celery diseases are rarely an issue in home gardens. Once harvested, celery should be used rather quickly. Enjoy as a crunchy snack with veggie dip or sunbutter. To use your harvest at a later time, it is best to incorporate your celery in some broth-based soups which can be frozen or canned.
