Cavolo Nero

 Black MAGIC

Black Magic Kale,

 Cavolo Nero. Reproduced in Britain, for the British environment, the leaves are moderately slender and most certainly extremely crinkled. Taste is amazing, either reaped as young leaves or left to improve up by the cooler winter climate.

Harvest about a month into the growing season when the leaves are about the size of a normal palm. 

You can hope to harvest about a kilo of leaves for each season from the normal plant. The actual plant is impervious to most illnesses and, except if left to dry out, improbable to bolt. Best in the winter and early spring.


It was given a RHS Award of Garden Merit (AGM) in 2015. Dark Magic is a F1 half breed.
