I grew walking stick Kale...same thing maybe. It grew humungous! By the time it was 6 foot, I could no longer seriously keep the pigeons off. The leaves were tough, but edible, just took a bit longer to cook. Never made walking sticks, did it more for the kids to gape at. You could grow them, then get Ken Kew to carve you a lovely stick! ;D
