How to grow tree collards

In this video, Project Tree Collard shares the cultural needs of Tree Collards for successful growth. Plants, cuttings and seeds are available for sale at www.projecttreecollard.org. Organic vegetable gardening can be especially rewarding by growing perennial vegetables such as tree collards in your garden. Tree collards are one of the easiest vegetables to grow in a home garden. For very little input they can provide an abundance of greens all year round and can live up to 20 years. A fast growing relative of collards and kale, they can reach over eight feet in height in a few years. This gardening tutorial covers water needs, sun needs, pests, and protection from farm animals. This can help you determine where tree collards are a good addition to your permaculture or homesteading site.
Tree collards (Brassica oleracea var. acephala) are members of the brassica family. They are also known as Tree Kale or Tree Cabbage. Their relatives include traditional collards, kale, broccoli, cabbage, brussels sprouts, kohlrabi, and cauliflower. However, unlike most of its relatives, tree collards are perennial. This means that, like a fruit tree or rose bush, they will continue to grow and produce year after year and without the need for planting new seeds or seedlings every year like traditional collards and kale. Tree collards are hardy to about 20° F (-7° c) and in mild climates have been known to live for up to twenty years! They are closely related to other perennial collard varieties grown in Mediterranean, Africa, the Americas, and other countries. Tree Collards are very nutritious. They are high in Vitamins B1, B2, B9, C, and beta-Carotene and are also a great source of fiber.

Awesome! I am reminded of the first time I saw a tree collard plant. My sister-in-law had one planted in her yard in the 70's as an ornamental plant. I only saw a few more until about a year ago. I cannot care for an abundance of plants, but I am anxious to buy and plant two or three to enjoy.

[@projecttreecollard]

awesome;)

[@gljay]

When you plant young plants don't bother coming out with a light to look for slugs. Just wrap the base of each plant from the ground up to about an inch or so with aluminum foil. The bugs won't bother them as it is not plant material. They see it as not editable. That will stop them until the plant get past that vulnerable stage. I got your seeds in the mail. Look forward to planting them soon. Thanks!

[@projecttreecollard]

Interesting idea. I could see how it saves the plants but they still will reproduce like crazy and get your other plants instead???

In the summer, in Florida, we get some kind of slug or worm that somehow is either laid as an egg or burrowed into the main stalk of some of our collards, and then they eventually just rot from that point up, while the plant below that point stays viable.

[@projecttreecollard]

hmmmm...Is it a leaf miner? sounds challenging

[@MasterCoachUniversity]

@@projecttreecollard they just seem to take up residence inside the large collard or kale stems, perhaps by traveling right down the top. doesn't seem to be any consumption or damage to leaves, but they do seem to damage or rot the stem somehow, as, once they're there for a while, the leaves shrivel above the invaded part of the stem.

It really depends on your climate, time of year, and conditions. I'm not sure what you mean by "mature" because they keep maturing their whole lives, but our new plants are usually edible and a few feet tall in 3-4 months.

[@projecttreecollard]

I like to use different "fertilizers" throughout the year. Sometimes compost, sometimes compost tea, sometimes calcium and magnesium, sometimes rock dust. Check out pruning videos. Cutting leaves does not make more leaves exactly. Cutting the tips keeps the plants more productive lower down and less woody over the life of the plant

Your collars look good, I am growing tree collars using neem oil, and BT for worms, and aphids, but my problem some of the leaves keep turning yellow I feed them once a month with Alaska fish fertilizer would you have any suggestions on what the yellow leaves might be? How do you keep your greens looking so good? Thank You

[@projecttreecollard]

the older leaves turn yellow (or orange) and then brown and fall off (if you don't eat them first). This is normal. If your younger leaves are consistently yellowing I would do a soil test and see how you actually are doing on the nutrients in real time. It seems like good info to have so you can see how your soil is performing over time

[@beverlymackjohnson6735]

I m in Florida and my leaves turn yellow and white stuff other back side of leaves. Only problem im having. And also can I feed them food Bone Meal, Blood Meal etc? Any suggestions accepted.

[@projecttreecollard]

all older leaves eventually turn yellow. White stuff could be white fly? Hard to say without seeing it. Bone meal, blood meal, are good if your soil lacks nitrogen. Soil testing will let you know what supplements your soil is lacking.

Really quick question. I live in Pennsylvania zone 6B. I grew regular collard from seed putting whole baby catfish as they needed bigger pots. My tallest collard plant is tall as my waist. I'm 6 foot. I chopped this collard plant from the top every year for 3 years. Pennsylvania has 4 seasons. Even the frost doesn't bother this plant and it's grown in a 3 gallon pot since last year. Is this considered a tree plant? I've been harvesting for 3 years since it's grown. Quick Google search, Pennsylvania during frost can be less than 15 degrees. The leaves would droop but when the sun hit it, looks normal every day. Sooo confused!!

Hi from CA Zone 10b! Does the chalky film appear on leaves as well to adapt to drought? I'm noticing it on my Merritt collard this summer during the heatwave.

tree collards just grow that tall and they are very tasty. People buy stems to get a clone of my plants. You can grow them from seed but some types never (or rarely bloom). When grown from seed, there will be a lot of genetic diversity because they readily cross pollinate with other members of the broccoli family
