NEW Broccoli

[shushkin!]

Hi
I've seen articles on this new broccali/kale hybrid which is
supposed to be the bees knees.
Has anyone here grown this and can comment on this fab
sounding new veg.
Cheers

Hi Shuskin. Do you know the name of the new veg, or the supplier?

Had to have a look - I love broccoli

Buy Brokali Apollo Seeds at Marshalls Seeds

Yes, it was fast growing and very fast at bolting.

Just had another look at this. The Brokali Apollo I grew is not a hybrid with kale. The kale hybrid is crossed with brussells sprout and is called Flower Sprout. There was a discussion earlier this year about this.

Thanks for the feedback Oldie. My mistake on the broccoli/kale hybrid theory.
It does not sound that promising then.
Basically in fast mode for both negative and positive reasons.
Was it drought tolerant though and did it taste fab?

It did taste very good but I think the very hot spell pushed into bolting although we did water well. I will definitely try it again.
