I grow marrow-stem kale.  It will go to seed this spring.  It grew to a
height of 4 feet tall before it fell over, which is taller than some of my
dwarf apple trees.  Now it is growing horizontal.  The leaves are giant,
over a foot wide and almost 3 feet long.  Considered a cattle food, I enjoy
the young flowering shoots that are like broccoli when steamed.  I'll save
you some seed if you like.

Forgive the non-fruit question:

Does anyone know a source for perennial kale, the little foot-tall nutty
flavored thing I've heard rumors of ?

Good to be back on the NAFEX list... the Urbana Permaculture Project is
facilitating work on 14 distinct sites in Illinois this year, no drought
of fruit-questions in sight.
