Fujiyama F1 Hybrid Cauliflower grows well in sub-tropical conditions, reaching maturity in around 70 days and showing strong tolerance to heat. Named for Japan’s tallest mountain, each plant forms a bright white curd atop a flat-domed head that measures 6–8 inches across. The leaves partially cover the head, but tying them to "blanch" helps maintain a white color. This variety needs warm weather for proper sizing, matures uniformly, and offers a long shelf life. Its heads are flavorful both cooked and raw, never bland, with a pleasant texture. 

Ideal Growing Conditions

Sun: Full sun. In hot climates, plant in a spot that gets full morning sun with afternoon shade. 

Water: Keep the soil consistently moist

Fertilizer: Add some all purpose fertilizer into the planting hole when transplanting. Fertilize again every 4 weeks. 

When & How To Sow Seeds: For a spring crop, sow seeds indoors, in 4 inch pots, 10-12 weeks before your last spring frost date. Transplant after your last spring frost date. For a fall crop, sow seeds indoors, in 4 inch pots, 10-12 weeks before your target date of planting your fall garden. Hot climate gardeners - search your zipcode on www.plantmaps.com to view a chart with the max average high and low temperatures per month, in your area. Your target date to transplant is the first month in fall where the max average high temperature finally drops to 85F or below. Space cauliflower plants 18 inches apart in rows that are 3FT apart. 

Germination: 5-15 days

Days To Maturity: 70 days after transplanting into the garden

How & When To Harvest: Harvest the entire head of cauliflower once it forms and the flower buds are tight and unopened. Once the flower buds start to look like they are seperating, it is time to harvest. That is the biggest size the head of cauliflower will get before it starts bolting (go into the flowering stage). Cut the head of cauliflower off the stem. The plant will not continue producing side shoots like when growing broccoli. 

Common Diseases: The most common disease when growing cauliflower is clubroot, which causes swollen roots, wilting, and stunted growth. To manage it, rotate crops, raise soil pH with lime, remove infected plants and keep the garden clean to prevent its spread.

Common Pests: One of the most common pests when growing cauliflower is the cabbage worm, which is green with white stripes down its back. Classic signs of a worm infestation include munched on leaves and finding little green, black, or orange balls which is the frass (poop) of these worms. You can hand pick them off your plants, but if the infestation is severe, spray with an organic worm treatment like Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt).
