This one did not perform well for me. The heads were small and it did not like our fluctuating winter temps.

A medium early medium green domed broccoli from Sakata. Due to plant vigor it is recommended to "organic' growers. A Japanese hybrid. It performs reasonably well here. It is earlier than advertised. Central heads are small ( 6 inches) with medium bead. Plant is large, so should set multiple sideshoots. An ok cultivar, but there are several I like much better.

Regional...

This plant has been said to grow in the following regions:

Augusta, Georgia
