Green River (F1) Asian Green Seed

Product ID:5542.115542

Upright, refined komatsuna for bunching and baby leaf.

Slow-bolting plant with dark green leaves and long, narrow petioles. Very similar to Carlton, which it replaced. Leaves hold at the baby-leaf stage for a long harvest window. Komatsuna is similar to tatsoi, but has a denser, less juicy texture. Traditionally used in Japan either steamed and seasoned with soy sauce or in stir-fries and soups. It is also excellent braised or, at the baby-leaf stage, used in salads.

Specs:

  • Packet: 250 seeds
  • Avg. 134,900 seeds/lb

DIRECT SEEDING:

For full-size bunching: sow 15 seeds/ft. (10–12 seeds/ft. for 'Green 70 D Improved'), 1/4" deep in rows 12-18" apart. Most varieties do not require thinning; see individual product descriptions for varieties that do. For baby-leaf production of 'Tokyo Bekana', see the Baby Leaf Brassica Greens culture.

INSECT PESTS:

Flea beetles are best controlled by covering with floating row covers from day of sowing.

HARVEST:

Budding/cutting types (choi sum and kailaan): harvest when the buds are just mature, or a few are just blooming. Multiple harvests are possible for these types. Heading types (celtuce, Chinese cabbage, and komatsuna): may be harvested from medium to full-size, depending on local market preferences. These types are suitable for single harvests.
