Default tree collards

Hello,

I'm looking for "tree collard" seeds. I've read that they come from
New Zealand. Please give a source that can provide the seeds.


You could try looking for the Portuguese cabbage, or Couve Tronchuda - I
believe that Chiltern Seeds sells them. They're also known as the
walking-stick cabbage.

I wondered about those - also known as Couve Galega. They're about 4ft
tall (not including flower spikes)

Fascinating reference here

p113 onwards for cabbages, kales, coleworts etc
