It's bocking 14. Grew from a root cutting planted April-ish. It's about

Mine came (from garden organic) with the instructions not to harvest in
the first year. It didn't say why not but I'm guessing that like rhubarb,
asparagus and sea-kale it needs an undisturbed first year to build up
strength in the roots.
