Overall Taste Yield Ease	Pulaski, Virginia, United States Frost Free Season: 143 - 163 days Soil Texture: Clay Garden Size: Large - More than 1,600 square feet (40' x 40') Sun Exposure: More than 8 hours per day
Plants produced huge heads (not always a single crown). My husband (who generally likes only the crown of broccoli) enjoyed even the stems of this variety. Plants produced some (smaller) side shoots after the main head was harvested.
