cabbage heads forming in witches hats

Question

I have stone heads and gurney show cabbage. Some of the heads are forming in witches hats or dunce hats peaks. I am an old gardener; I’m 78 and have never seen this head form like this. Please advise if you can.

Answer 1

Cabbage heads can be round, flat or pointed as your describing.
Environmental issues can effect the shape but there are varieties that also grow this pointed shape.
