I recently received some Greater Sea Kale Seeds, Cambe cordifolia, with propagating instructions. They are daunting, multiple steps and involved. I would like to hear from others who might have propagated these seeds. Success? Failures? Cautions? Tips? Thank you for your help.
These multiple steps are completely necessary, and should be followed for success. As long as you follow them carefully, you should not run into any issues.
I’m new to this service, and I must admit puzzled by your response. This may seem silly, but I don’t understand how you were privy to the propagation information I received with the Greater Sea Kale seeds. Just needing to confirm that you are referencing the propagation info I shared.
I recently received some Greater Sea Kale Seeds with propagating instructions. I would like to compare any ideas you have about this with what I received. I’ve attached a copy of the instructions I received. Thank you for your help.
After researching, the instructions I found were about the same. They all mentioned removing the seed coat or scarifying the seed to speed up germination. I would follow the instructions you have.
Whilst on a coastal walk from Padstow to Trevone, we came across this crop, any idea what it is please?
There are a few Brassicas that can show this trait. This one seems a bit on the thicker, woodier side. This leads me to believe that this is tree kale/collards.
