This video introduces the Big Blue Tree Collard and how you can grow it successfully in your garden. This tree collard variety was introduced in 2020 by Sequoiah at Project Tree Collard and is a long-lived perennial tree collard that grows 3-5 feet tall. It flowers in the spring, but remains productive year round. @projecttreecollard believes that every home garden or homestead in temperate climates should have some tree collard plants. You only plant them once and they produce abundant greens as animal fodder or for human consumption for many years to come. Big Blue Tree Collards are particularly handsome plants for the home garden and are delicious and nutritious. Check out this new and exciting permaculture plant!
Tree collards (Brassica oleracea var. acephala) are members of the brassica family. They are also known as Tree Kale or Tree Cabbage. Their relatives include traditional collards, kale, broccoli, cabbage, brussels sprouts, kohlrabi, and cauliflower. However, unlike most of its relatives, tree collards are perennial. This means that, like a fruit tree or rose bush, they will continue to grow and produce year after year and without the need for planting new seeds or seedlings every year like traditional collards and kale. Tree collards are hardy to about 20° F (-7° c) and in mild climates have been known to live for up to twenty years! They are closely related to other perennial collard varieties grown in Mediterranean, Africa, the Americas, and other countries. Tree Collards are very nutritious. They are high in Vitamins B1, B2, B9, C, and beta-Carotene and are also a great source of fiber.
