Tree collards

[Hayden Cowper]

Hi, just wanting to know if anybody in NZ is growing/supplying tree collards which apparently are difficult to grow from seed, mainly sold as cuttings, and produce greens all year round.

[Richard Watson]

Yes i have it and its whats also known as chou daubenton and yes they dont appear to be able to flower in most parts NZ as they need to have a benign climate.

Hi, Thanks for the info and the picture, do you know of any nuseries or suppliers that are currently selling this plant?

[Richard Watson]

I would very much doubt that any nursery would stock this so my plan with it is to get as many plants off it and start selling them on trademe,by the end of this season i should have two or three plants if you would like one.

[Hayden Cowper]

That sounds awsome, just let me know when they are ready i and would be happy to purchase from you. Thanks

[Richard Watson]

Ok get back to me at the end of summer and i will have some plants then.

[Hayden Cowper]

Will do, Thankyou.

Hi, I know this posting is old but I would like to pant maybe 2 tree collards, happy to pay for this difficult to find perennial.
