50 days. Brassica oleracea. (F1) Early Jade Chinese Broccoli. This early-maturing plant produces good yields of dark green broccoli. It is a popular broccoli variety prized for its thick, tender stems, large dark-green leaves, and edible flower buds/blossoms. The leaves are big and dark green with thick stems. An Oriental green vegetable that is grown for both its stalks and leaves. The flavor is milder and sweeter than standard heading broccoli, with a pleasant slight bitterness that softens when cooked. Excellent for stir-frying, steaming, sautéing, or serving with oyster garlic sauce. Slow to bolt. Suitable for spring and fall planting. Excellent choice for home gardens, market growers, open-field production, and commercial production. A variety from the USA.

Broccoli does best when temperatures remain between 40 F and 70 F during the growing period. Temperatures below 25 F can damage or kill broccoli. Spring planting should occur as soon as soil can be worked and after the last frost, and fall planting should be done 10 to 12 weeks before the first frost. In most areas, broccoli grows best if planted in late summer so it can mature during cool periods. Plants can grow 2 ft tall.
