Overall Taste Yield Ease	Richmond, Georgia, United States Frost Free Season: 183 - 203 days Soil Texture: Sand Garden Size: Large - More than 1,600 square feet (40' x 40') Sun Exposure: More than 8 hours per day
Produces nice size root here as a fall planting. Harvest beginning at Christmas. It is a nice rutabaga, but iI do not find any clear superiority in any aspect to the American Purple Top
