Oriental Brassicas

No one interested in vegetable growing can fail to be inspired by the Chinese people and the diversity and productivity of their vegetables. ‘F1 Kuro’ is a traditional Pak Choi and Tatsoi cross, that produces plants with an upright habit, luminescent green flat stems and tender, dark green, thick glossy leaves.

Tatsoi or Rosette Pak Choi is among the most popular of oriental greens and one of the best vegetables to grow in a cool climate. The spoon-shaped, evenly spaced leaves form a plant worthy to be grown for its decorative value alone. Given enough room the plants will form beautiful wide rosettes of regular, concentric circles.

Pak Choi "F1 Hanakan" is an outstanding green stem hybrid for babyleaf or for miniveg (straight to wok) specification. Dwarf, hourglass shaped heads, with lovely broad based green stems. The flavour is sweet with a hint of mustard. Not only tasty, but good for you. Whatever next?!?

Dwarf Canton White is a short and squat variety, often known as Baby or Squat Pak Choi. Tender and delicious, with a compact habit, this fast growing vegetable can be harvested at any stage, for 'baby leaf or left to mature to thick succulent white stems.
