A 50 day hybrid. Heads are white and average 6 inches. This is my first trial of this cultivar and it has been a very late spring. All of my brassicas are way behind schedule. It has been the first to show a head, but very small thus far. Have several heads now, but all are small and inferior to Majestic. It is very early, coming ahead of the broccoli, but the plants are small and not overly vigourous.
