Asparagus (asparagus) is a perennial crop of the Asparagus family, some species of which are edible. The soft narrow leaves of an evergreen subshrub or vine are sometimes mistaken for needles, with which they have nothing in common. On herbaceous, highly branched shoots up to one and a half meters in length, there are scaly, underdeveloped leaves with hard spurs at the base. In the axils of the foliage there are numerous, collected in bunches, needle-shaped branches - cladodes. The rhizome is well developed and deeply buried in the soil. Supplied on a 0.165 gram backing
