Rapa da Foglia Senza Testa

Primarily a leaf turnip but dual purpose in that it forms a large, white root as well. Leaves are large and broad and were quite bitter when grown at Heritage Farm. The edible root has multiple growing centers on the crown (a characteristic of leaf turnips) and is rather mild flavored. Root development is highly variable from plant to plant, but some produced 2-3lb roots from fall grown plants. SSE Accession # 113622
