Description
Brassica oleracea var acephala
Crazy but true – this plant gives you edible leaves for several years and then a stalk which you can varnish and turn into a walking stick! Heirloom variety hailing from the Channel Islands. Grow and harvest like regular kale – in full sun in fertile soil. Grows to a height of over 2 metres -this photo of Gigs who is 6’3” tall plus 9 year old Eliza on his shoulders will give you some idea of the height of this 18 month old plant! A fun plant for the kids to grow. Certified organic plant. Available in 9cm or 11cm pot.
Freight: Lowest freight rate is currently $13.50 for one to nine 9cm pots to an urban address. Further charges apply for larger orders, larger plants, or rural addresses. For more info please see our full list of freight and packing charges. Please note that due to the size of the walking stick kale plants in 11cm pots they are treated as trees for freight purposes.
