Thousand Head Kale

Kale ‘Thousand Head’  is a particularly winter hardy kale that resembles more a collard green. If left to grow it will reach a height of five feet.  Once the main crown has been harvested side shoots will form which will be ready to harvest.  This kale can be propagated by cutting, but will go to seed.  It has perennial tendencies, so can be cut back after flowering and more side shoots will sprout and give a few more years of production.  Great addition to a perennial food forest. Kale leaves are some of the biggest we have ever seen.
