ASIAN GREEN
Choho
Choho is one of several hybrids of Komatsuna and Tatsoi. Full size in 25 days after Summer sowing. This intensely dark green, succulent Asian leafy-green has paddle-shaped thick, savoyed leaves. Choho somewhat resembles the growth habit of a very upright, round leaved spinach with a lovely sweet flavor associated with Asian cabbage. Bolt resistant in both hot and cold conditions. Choho grows well all year round in moderate climates. Similar to Misome it is highly tolerant to Downy Mildew, White Rust , and heat. After the first Summer harvest of Choho, the growth slows down, extending your season longer in the Summer than standard, open-pollinated Komatsuna. This highly nutritious leafy green is gaining popularity in salad mixes as a baby-leaf and in braising mixes. Approx. 25 days.

aromatic green is a traditional chop suey green, and very ornamental with
its deeply serrated bright green leaves and pretty little orange-yellow
chrysanthemums. Approx. 13,750 sds/Oz. or 220,000 sds/Lb. Approx. 50 days.
