The root is fleshy and spherical. The edible enlarged part mainly consists of the shortened stem, hypocotyl and the upper part of the root. The outermost layer of the fleshy root is the periderm, and the inner layer is the secondary phloem, which has developed parenchyma cell tissue and is the main edible part. Further inside is secondary xylem.

The stem shortens during the vegetative growth period, and leaves grow on it. 1 to 2 backs are pinnately lobed, with 2 to 3 small compound leaves, oval and 3-lobed, with serrated edges.

In the reproductive growth stage, flower sprouts sprout from the stem end and branch multiple times. The inflorescence is a compound umbellate flower. The flowers are small, white, cross-pollinated, and can also be self-pollinated. Double hanging fruit, spherical shape.

Celery likes cool and humid climate conditions. The suitable growth temperature is about 20℃, and it grows slowly above 25℃. Intolerant of hot and high temperatures. Under high temperature conditions, fleshy roots are prone to browning and rot.

Celery is suitable for moist soil conditions. Suitable soil is loose and fertile loam rich in organic matter.

Overall, the characteristics of root celery are similar to those of leaf celery. Information related to celery root

Celery root is currently only cultivated sporadically. Although it has been tried for several years, it is still not cultivated on a large scale. It is speculated that there is a habit of eating a lot of celery in northern China. The petioles of celery are not as valuable as leaf celery. If the petioles are used as products, the cultivation prospects of celery are not broad. Root vegetables are traditionally classified as rough vegetables in northern China, and people do not like to eat them. Therefore, the development prospects of celeriac are not very optimistic, and in the short term, it should still be treated peacefully among rare vegetables.

Celery is also called root celery, bulbous wormwood, etc. It can form fat fleshy roots and is a biennial herb. Native to the Mediterranean coast. Celery is eaten with its crisp and tender fleshy roots and stalks, which can be stir-fried, boiled, or served cold, and can also be used as a seasoning for soups.

Main characteristics: The above-ground part of celeriac looks like celery, and the underground part is as fat as kohlrabi. The seeds are no different than celery. The adaptability of celeriac is similar to that of celery. It likes a cool and humid climate. The suitable temperature for growth is 12-25℃. The suitable soil temperature during the growth and expansion period of the fleshy roots is 20℃. The fleshy roots will not develop well when it is above 25℃. Celery should avoid high temperatures and direct sunlight, and is suitable for cultivation on fertile alluvial soil or sandy loam with good water supply, rich in organic matter.

Cultivation points: It can be cultivated in spring and summer, and the method of seedling transplanting is often used. Seedlings can be grown in protected areas such as greenhouses in early spring from February to March, planted in fields in April, and harvested in early summer. You can also cover the seedlings with a sunshade net or rainproof shed in the summer, plant them in the autumn, and harvest them from early winter to the following spring. For spring sowing, the seeds can be soaked in clean water for 24 hours, and then placed at 20 to 25°C for germination. After the seeds are exposed, they are sown in the hotbed.

For summer sowing, the soaked seeds need to be placed in the cold room of the refrigerator or above the water surface of the well, and then sown after germination at low temperature. When the seedlings have 3 to 4 leaves, divide the seedlings once, and the seedlings should be 10 cm square apart. Seedlings are planted when they have 9 to 10 leaves, and the spacing between rows and plants is 40 cm × 25 cm. Fertilize once after planting live trees and 15 days after planting, and apply 1500 kg of diluted human excrement or 10-15 kg of urea per 1/15 hectare. During the expansion period of the fleshy roots, the soil around the rhizosphere can be peeled off, and the lateral roots on the fleshy roots can be cut off with a knife to promote the growth of the main root, with a smooth surface and neat shape.
