You have been an inspiration to me over the years of shopping at heart. I live in Lake Wales and was ready to plant my food forest. You gave me a Heart tour once and told me what to buy in the nursery and I’m living off of this food now. Awesome work! I can’t wait to watch your channel.
Fantastic! I am so pleased to hear this. My new farm is in Babson Park, hopefully you can come visit the nursery and farm someday. Thanks for your encouraging message, it’s very rewarding to know our work has a long lasting impact.
Thanks for the video, it is one of the most grown vegetables in Zimbabwe (Southern Africa) found in every garden easy to grow, you just dig a 40cm deep trench fill with organic matter and when the cuttings are well established chicken manure is best source for nitrogen, a month later you start harvesting and there after fortnightly, the pests here are aphids,leaf miner, silver moth and cut worms which are easy to control, the stem will rot from inside if you over irrigate or in very wet conditions.
If you can maintain them, then you won't have to pay anymore money for seeds. I have been growing them in my backyard. When they get too tall, i just get cuttings or suckers and start them again. If mulched and manured well, they grow huge stocks and leaves.
I am currently trying to grow the Purple, Merrit, and Jolly Green tree collards here in Pasco county. I got them as young plants about 3-4 inches tall. It hasn't been easy even as I am grwing them in pots, I don't dare put them into the ground here, it is pure sand. I really want to try this one you have, I think I will have a much better experience with it.
Awsome. African chomolia is one of my fav foods to eat. Been craving it. I have seeds however and am trying to grow it but Im not sure if my west coast climate is hindering it as they dont survive too long (stunted growth).. (though my green thumb is more like a red toe as i cant keep any plants alive to save my life lol). Will keep trying i guess 🤷
Greetings! So far it is doing quite well. I would love to hear any insights or comments you have to share about this vegetable given that you live where it is popular.
I don’t know the cold hardiness yet of this variety. Some of the perennial brassicas can survive that far North but with this would originating in the tropics it’s really a toss up how it would do.

Someone from Zimbabwe introduce me to this.
its so nice when you cook it with fried onion, beef spices and beef.
I'm South African
Nice presentation. We call it 5 years here in Zambia. It just needs water and manure.

Will you offer cuttings again in the future?

Can you share zone areas outside of FL.where we might succeed in trying some of these? We are zone 7A by Hickory NC.

Would you be willing to send a few cuttings? Happy to pay for it.
