  • Species and varieties: Parsnip (Pastinaca sativa) is a root vegetable closely related to carrots and parsley. The 'Petrik' variety is an heirloom type originating from Russia, known for its sweet flavor and creamy texture.
  • Hybrid or heirloom: The 'Petrik' parsnip is an heirloom variety, meaning it has been passed down through generations without genetic modification. Heirloom seeds are valued for their historical significance and genetic diversity.
  • Pruning and training: Parsnips do not require pruning or training. However, thinning seedlings to about 3-4 inches apart is necessary to ensure proper root development. Regular weeding is important to prevent competition for nutrients.
  • Fertilization needs: Parsnips benefit from a balanced fertilizer applied at planting time. A soil test can help determine specific nutrient needs. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers, as they can promote excessive foliage growth at the expense of root development. Organic compost or well-rotted manure can also be beneficial.
  • Hardiness zones: Parsnips are suitable for USDA hardiness zones 3-9. They can tolerate cold weather and are often sweeter after a frost.
  • Climate requirements: Parsnips prefer a cool climate and can be grown in regions with mild summers. They require full sun to partial shade and well-drained, fertile soil. The ideal temperature range for growing parsnips is between 45°F and 75°F (7°C to 24°C).
