| Never thought I'd say this about collards, but - - it's yummy. I really look forward to a a plate of lightly steamed Morris Heading Collards at the end of the day. Sweet, flavorful, succulent.
I figure it gets a high grade for ease/reliability if I grow it successfully, because I'm not a whiz bang pro. I just have a little backyard patch.
For yield - - I don't have a basis for comparison so I don't know if it's a good or poor yielding variety. |

| This cultivar has been a mediocre performer for me. Some what resembles the local favorite Cabbage Collard but forms a loose head. Growth is irratic. |
