The best asparagus to grow is all male asparagus. Since it doesn't waste
energy to flower and producing seeds, all energy is directed towards the
growing spear. There will be bigger and more spear in each clump.
How can you tell whether it is male or female asparagus? When asparagus
reach the flowering stage, a growing spear will get taller but its fine leave
will be sparse, soon after that many flowers will appear. I kept pinching the
flower bud hoping to encourage the growth of the spear.
