Celery (Apium graveolens var. dulce 'Tall Utah')

The original wild celery (Apium graveolens) is native to the **Mediterranean region, North Africa, and parts of Asia**.

However, ‘Tall Utah’ is a *cultivar* of celery, bred for specific characteristics. While its genetic lineage traces back to the wild celery of those regions, the ‘Tall Utah’ variety itself was likely developed through selective breeding in the **United States**. The name “Utah” suggests a connection to that state, although it doesn’t necessarily mean it was exclusively developed there. It’s more likely that breeders working in, or associated with, Utah played a significant role in its development and popularization.
