I have a very exposed & windy site and would like to grow some Brussells(we like them!). I was looking at Early Half Tall and Seven Hills as they are described as compact but no actual height given. Anyone know how high and what's the closest spacing you would use?

Brussells sprouts spacing/height

remember the closer you plant the sprouts the smaller the buttons will be. Ideal spacing is 2-2 half feet but can reduce to 1 half foot if needed. If you transplant them to their final position, heel them in, or put simply just stamp down the soil around the roots. if needed you can attach a stake to the plant to avoid it moving in the wind.Geordie

I have a windy site too, and just plant normal sprouts (the wind stunts them a bit, but I usually get a decent crop from Maximus)
