Planting and Establishment Guidelines

Plant 'Jersey Knight' crowns in early spring in well-drained soil with full sun exposure. Prepare trenches 6 inches deep, spacing crowns 12-18 inches apart with rows 4-5 feet apart. Cover initially with 3 inches of soil, gradually filling the trench as plants grow. Allow establishment during the first year without harvesting. Limited harvesting can begin in year two, with full production starting in the third season. Consistent moisture is essential during establishment.
