If the shoots are picked regularly it will keep producing until June. A single strong plant will produce a handful of shoots every other day.

Madeley Kale
|
|
|
Brassica oleracea. A very vigorous flat leaf kale similar to Asparagus kale. It is an English heirloom that we got from Adaptive Seeds in Oregon. This is a really high yielding kale and I would recommend it for commercial growers, although it might take a bit of work to persuade customers that kale doesn’t need to be curly. Average 250 seeds/packet
