A dwarf bok choy with a tight growth habit and pale green stems. Grows fast -- very succulent and delicious. Does not get woody at all like some larger choys. You can stir-fry the entire plant whole if you harvest them very young, or break it apart into separate leaves. Needs cool weather -- plant early spring or late summer.
