Leek 'Bernaerts Winter'
- Product number: 222410
- Origin: Europe
- Latin: Allium porrum
A very strong and productive leek variety that a horticultural family in Sint-Katelijne-Waver (B) has maintained since at least the 1920s. The crop has dark green leaves with, of course, a white shaft and still something of an old-fashioned knob at the bottom. Like some other old winter leek varieties, Bernaerts Winter Leek still has some of the original leek in it: you can sometimes see new shoots at the bottom of the plant, which you can then transplant.
