Kale

  Bittern
 

This hybrid Kale from Plant Breeding International combines the highest yields with excellent quality characteristics and outstanding winter hardiness. Bittern has been recommended by NIAB for both autumn and winter use. In official winter Kale trials carried out in the UK over a five year period, Bittern outclassed all other varieties. It has a yield of digestible organic matter significantly higher than the means of the control. It is one of the most popular kales for game cover due to its durability through the winter.

     
  Maris Kestrel
 

A double cross hybrid Kale which is leafier and hardier than most other kale varieties. 

     
  Marrow Stem
 

A valuable crop suitable for dairy herd coming off grass for the autumn. Has a thick stem and large nutritious leaves. 

     
  Thousand Head
  Athough it is not as palatable as Marrow Stem Kale, it is more leafy and frost resistant. Provided it is not over-mature or grown too large, cattle will eat the stem completely. Hydraguard seed treatments is no longer available for sale as it contains the banned chemical Lindane. A mixture of Thiram, Rovral FS and Sepiret is available as an alternative for the prevention of damping off, control of seed borne diseases and ease of seed flowability. However there is a seed dressing available to help combat flea beetle which will will protect the seedling through its most vulnerable stage of growth.
