Kale 'Thousand Head' is a particularly winter hardy kale that resembles more a collard green. If left to grow it will reach a height of five feet. Once the main crown has been harvested side shoots will form which will be ready to harvest. This kale can be propagated by cutting, but will go to seed.
Heirloom Seeds & Plants Kale, Thousandhead
Grow mammoth-sized kale that remains tender even as the leaves grow to an astounding 3 feet long. In “The Vegetable Garden” in 1885, French seed house Vilmorin mentioned this ancient variety from the U.K. as a productive, multi-branching type that also goes by the name “branching borecole.” Vilmorin also noted that the variety originally hailed from western France. Peter Miller of Kings Seed mentioned that Thousandhead kale was long appreciated in the UK as a fodder crop, but it has been rediscovered as a tasty culinary variety. Its leaf structure also makes for easier pest management. Those who have struggled with cabbage worms understand how caterpillars love to hide in the folds of curly kale leaves. This variety is just lightly curled at the edges, making caterpillars easier to spot and treat!
