About this variety

Machine-translated, may contain errors.

A traditional, strongly branching variety from Calabria that pushes out particularly generous side shoots after the medium sized main head. „Ramoso“ means branched, and that is exactly what makes it a cut and come again variety for the summer. You sow it under cover from April and plant the sturdy seedlings out into the bed; with regular cutting you harvest over many weeks. Open pollinated, and therefore well suited to saving your own seed.

Robustly cabbagey with a nutty note, entirely in the style of the Calabrian ‚Calabrese' line. The many side florets are tender and easy to cook with.
