White cabbage "Brunswick" (Brassica oleracea var. capitata)

Description:
Brunswick is a classic white cabbage variety that has been popular for generations. This variety produces large, dense heads weighing between 2-4 kg and has crispy, sweet foliage. The cabbage is particularly resistant to cold and is therefore perfect for late autumn and winter cultivation. Brunswick is ideal for making sauerkraut, cabbage stews or using fresh in salads and wraps. Its high yield and long shelf life make it a favorite among growers.

3. Transplantation:

   • Plant out in late May or early June in a sunny location with well-drained, nutrient-rich soil.
