Broccoli Ramoso calabrese

Brassica oleracea convar. botrytis var. italica

A good variety of broccoli with strong medium-sized to large main flower and smaller side flowers.

Broccoli is sown several times throughout the year from early spring to late summer or early autumn. when we cut off the main flowers we leave the plants in the soil so they can form more side flowers. When we sow broccoli in autumn, we cut the flowers before the frost because they do not survive winter, but we live the rosettes. They will make flowers early in the spring.

Broccoli is very undemanding plant for cultivation, and like other brassicas, it is often attacked by caterpillars. In an ecological way we can fight against them by making wormwood tea, diluting it with water in a ratio of 1:10 and then sprinkling affected plants several times in succession.
