I am going to grow Thousand-headed Kale this year, this mammoth-sized kale remains tender even as the leaves grow to an astounding 3 feet long. This is an old type of kale that was grown in the UK right back to the Middle Ages.
The plant was grown for peopled and as cattle fodder.
This Kale is a multi-branching type that will grow up to four feet high. Thousand headed kale is a tasty culinary variety, its leaf structure also makes for easier pest management.
Those who have struggled with cabbage worms understand how caterpillars love to hide in the folds of curly kale leaves. This variety is just lightly curled at the edges, making caterpillars easier to spot and treat!
Thousand headed kale crops well all the year...standing mild heat and hard frost.
