ESQUIRE

Convincing by Performance!

Brilliant Future
ESQUIRE is one of the few varieties needing hardly any promotion. Since we started dispatching of seed for private trials we have had a very high positive feedback. Esquire's "field" performance is highly convincing!

Multi-Resistant
ESQUIRE resists well to winter damage and is tolerant to the majority of diseases of importance in the European Union and in North America; rusts, leaf spot, red thread and dollar spot.

First Out of Starting-Blocs
ESQUIRE takes off very early in spring with an impressive density. This explains also a very good wear tolerance. This is combined with good summer appearance and leaf fineness above average.
