| Kale: Ruso-Siberian |
Brassica napus
Kales of the far European north and east Asia, derived from the same progenitor as rutabaga. ‘Red Russian’ and ‘Siberian’ are the best known of this kale type, and are the progenitors of all the original varieties and mixes listed below. This is the best kale species for raw salad use and spring “napini,” more tender and less “bite” than the European kales. Hardy to 10ºF.
