This is a pre order item. We will ship it when it comes in stock.

We sourced our original mother's from: Project Tree Collard. This perennial collard has parentage from Merritt Tree Collard, Dino Tree Collard, and possibly Purple Tree Collard. Grows more like a stout Merritt Perennial Collard, but can reach over 6 ft. Leaves are crinkled somewhat like a dino kale, with a bluish green color and can get to 18 inches long. Can be grown from seed or cutting, light flowering and seeding each year and then it returns to pumping out greens. A real beauty of a perennial tree collard, nice addition to any food forest garden.
