The piracicaba seemed to work best as a fall crop. It is full size, large
broccoli plant. It grew really well. The buds are larger and softer than
"regular" broccoli. Folks who tried it usually liked it, but it wasn't what
folks were used to and didn't sell well. It was part of NOFA's organic seed
project. Elizabeth Dyck may be able to give you more detailed evaluations.


Thanks, Beth. I do broccoli mostly as a fall crop anyway; will aim this in that fashion, and not try very much of it this year; but the description did look good.
