Broccoli 'Green Magic' is an early maturing variety with a tasty flavour and resistance to white rust. Like other brassicas, broccoli 'Green Magic' thrives in a fairly heavy, alkaline soil – if your soil is acidic, add lime. Grow in a sheltered spot in firm, rich, well-drained soil in full sun.
Top rated for growers west of the Cascades, this Harrow, Ontario selection ripens early - even in cooler summers - and will excel throughout USDA Zones 5-9. It needs chill hours of 800 or better to fruit. It bears large quantities of red, sweet, tasty, yellow-fleshed fruit in early August.
The tree is attractive and spreading in habit, tolerant of bacterial spot and brown rot, and covered each spring with large, showy pink flowers.
