Catskill Brussel Sprouts (Brassica oleracea)
Catskill Brussel Sprouts (Brassica oleracea) grows a lot of heads with thick stalks! Catskill has large yields on strong stalks (24" tall) that make it easy to select, and extra large sprouts that grow up to 2" round with a medium green color. This heirloom, first introduced in 1941 by Arthur White, is delicious fresh or frozen. Owing to the cold weather, Brussels sprouts are best grown in the fall..
