| Excellent winter performer in southern California. Large, beautiful blue-green heads, copious side shoots. Disease and pest free. Started from seed (Fedco) and planted out after 4 weeks under lights. |

| This is a mediocre performer here, Small plants, small heads and two weeks later than Everest. As a spring broccoli it pushes into the hot season. It performs ok, but dozens of early cultivars are superior for my conditions. |

| I found this the best for my area where most days are hot and nights can be cold. I usually plant in the spring and if days get too hot , the plant will just kind of sit there until fall and still produce a wonderful crop. Never bitter. If weather stays cool in spring and early summer, I get nice size heads and lots of side shoots later. Either way, I always get a good crop from Belstar. |
