Looking for tree collards
 

I'm looking for a few cuttings or a rooted start of tree collards, Brassica oleracea acephala.

Thanks

Dave

Ok, but they grow rapidly from seed. There are online sellers of both.

Perennial Purple Tree Collard (Brassica oleracea v acephala) do not grow true from seed and rarely produce any. They are a cabbage hybrid. I have ordered from all 3 sources with good luck. I prefer the purple myself.

Brassica oleracea longata or Walking Stick Kale are not the same. Can be grown from seed. And worth growing imho.

Hmmm!

I thought a tree collard was a three year old collard. After three years they will get top heavy and lay over. The variety I use is Georgia. Do you eat your collards?

Collards are a biennial or perennial. Yes we eat our collards. I also grow Yellow Cabbage Collards. They are the best tasting collards out there. Not really yellow, just light green.
