Seed from Agway.
Large robust plant, nice heads, but hollow stems. The stem is one of my favorite parts and I did not like the hollow stem on this variety at all. Lots of side shoots after first harvest. Standard broccoli taste, the "taste" rating would be four-star if it had a solid stem. Personally I won't be growing this one again. |
