That there is indeed COLLARDS

Collards and about half of the varieties of Kale are the very same species, and will very readily cross.

Lacinato Kale is a typical good example of Brassica oleracea nonheading capitata, as is Georgia Collards, another Brassica oleracea nonheading capitata.

There are a lot of Kales that are not oleracea, such as Ragged Jack.


The confusion is very understandable.

There may well be some Collards that are called Kale. Fair is fair. After all, Lacinato is actually Collards.

There are hundreds of heirloom Collards that as I type, are in imminent danger of extinction, down to one old person growing them.

That is the reason I keep suggesting to talk with the old gardeners, those who do not use new fangled computers.

I have no idea because in order to reaffirm what little youth I have left, I still despise all veggies :lol:

Joking! It looks like Bok Choi to me
