An evergreen dense shrub, reaching a height of 1 m and 150 cm in diameter, annual growth is about 15 cm, the leaves are dark green, shiny, leathery, narrow and long, the flowers are white, collected in spikes, blooms in May.

This heirloom variety is the go-to spinach for many a farmer and gardener. Vigorous plants with deep green, curly leaves. Grows quickly, a real advantage in Michigan’s often short spring season. Best planted in cooler weather.

A. melanocarpa can also be used as an edible fruit crop although the fruit is too astringent to eat raw. The fruit is used instead in baking and to make jams, jellies, syrup, tea, juice, and wine.
