Post by: ruffmeister on April 13, 2007, 09:22:19

No idea of scale, but it is certainly not PSB & it looks far to big for WSB.

Much more like 9 star perennial. If you sowed that?? Or even a straight Broccoli.

How many florets per plant?

it has about 15+ heads showing on each plant i would say, and they growed more since then but still white, the leaves have apurple tint if that helps.

is 9* nice?

My white sprouting brocolli had a larger central floret and lots a smaller ones further down, just like psb. I can't remember what variety as I bought them in, but mine looks similar.

If you have 15 heads the size that that one appears to be, I need to know the variety!

We have a WSB from last year…. I removed all the florets over the season and eventually the plant went back into leaf production, its now a MASSIVE 2 year old WSB and is covered in loads of florets of about the same size as in the picture. I'm going to try this again with some PSB this year, the second year yield is huge  ;D
