This cultivar is performing well here. The plant is quite large, but the central heads are small for a modern hybrid. It is sufficiently early to produce, coming in with the Point One cabbage and well ahead of Belstar which has yet to show a head.. It has very fine beads. While I was not overly impressed by the central heads, the side sprouts of this cultivar are exceptional. Large, prolific, and excellent quality. A great home garden cultivar as it extends the harvest over a long period of time.
