Calabrese Broccoli (Brassica oleracea)

Italian immigrants brought this extremely popular variety to America in the late 1800s. Calabrese produces a tightly packed head up to 7-8” in diameter. After the head is harvested, side shoots form for ongoing harvest until frost. Crisp, sweet, and delicious!
