This giant kohlrabi remains tender up to the largest sizes but must be spaced at least 30cm (1') apart. When it is spaced 60cm (2') apart it can weigh up to 4.5kg (10lb)! Its large root system lets it grow well where water is limited. It handles winter weather well and can be harvested until April from a mid-summer planting. Matures in 70 days. (open pollinated seeds)
