Brassica oleracea var napus
Perennial kale – we have had some growing for three years now which even survived several ‘prunings’ by our cattle!
Thousandhead is a large, vigorous plant with leaves that may grow up to 50cm or even a metre long and over 30cm wide and have been described as ‘elephant’s ears’! It is known as thousand headed due to its multi branching habit, which in turn means that it produces more leaves than other kales, and more sweet flower stalks (like broccolini). Despite the size, the leaves remain tender.
Very easy to grow, tolerant of poorer soil conditions than other brassicas, and is rarely troubled by pests and diseases.

Jo has a passion for growing herbs but is not a qualified herbalist and has no medical background.
We are lucky to have Patricia Beagle working here at times, who is qualified, and some of her advice does appear on these pages, but herbs act differently for different people and can interact with other medicines. We therefore always recommend that you consult with your own qualified health-care practitioner before using herbal products, particularly if you are pregnant, nursing or on any medications.
Kahikatea Farm cannot take any responsibility for any adverse effects from the use of the plants or a plant not having the effect it is reputed to have.
