| We give this 4 stars because we feel the taste outweighs some of the other factors. Plants are larger. Head size can be variable, which can be frustrating if you grow for market or a CSA. Many side shoots, of which some have a size that approaches the main shoot on some plants. When an Umpqua plant is happy, you'll be happy with the results. But, if it decides it doesn't like your soil type you can be disappointed. Handles warmer weather reasonably well. Taste is top notch. People who have digestion 'issues' with broccoli find this to be a variety they can handle without issue. |

| Planted in spring and fall 2010. Spring crop bolted when the weather got warm earlier than usual. Tough leaves and stems, but the flowerets were good. Started a fall crop in July, and picked in Nov & Dec. Main head, stems and side shoots were tender & had good flavor. Also this is not a fast-growing variety, so best for fall. |
