| Ferry Morse advertises this cultivar as having 10-15 lb heads. Bonnie Plant farms introduced it this in a giant cabbage contest. Gave away free plants which how I obtained. They claim up to 40 lbs. Denali claims 70 lbs is possible in Alaska. Here in Georgia, mine averaged 15 lbs. It is a nice cabbage, similar in size and shape to Flat Dutch, but about a month earlier. It was very consistent in growth, with all plants making a nice head. Flavor is similar to Flat Dutch, |
