Kale Coalition - Will Be Back 2013

B. oleracea. A diverse genepool mix of 17 oleracea kales and their crosses. Nick Routledge trialed the 17 kales collected on our 2007 Seed Ambassadors trip and this is what happened the next spring.This Grex contains a lot of very interesting diversity of kales not available in the US, NOT just curly green kales.
A combination of Hoj Amager Grunkohl (DK), Madeley (UK), Westphalian (UK), Westland Winter (UK), Westländer Winter (DE), Asparagus Kale (IR, UK), 1,000 Headed kale (DE), Roter Krauskohl (DE), Altmarker Braun (DE), Baltic Red (SE), Blonde Butter of Jalhay (BE), Butterkohl (DE), Nicki's Cut'N'Come Again (IE), Shetland (UK), Hellerbutter Kohl (CH), Cavolo Nero di Toscana (IT), and Ostfriesische Palm (CH). The resulting mix of hybrids contains the most incredibly vigorous kales we have ever seen – some plants grew four feet tall in eight inches of potting soil on top of some serious hardpan topsoil, and not an aphid to be seen when the neighboring red Russian kales were hit hard.
 
Will be availible again in 2013. Sorry for the inconvenience, biennials are slow to make seed.
