Purple Tree Collard is a rare and highly productive perennial kale, prized for its towering growth and beautiful purple-tinged foliage. Unlike more compact perennial kales, this variety develops into a tall, tree-like form over time, making it both a productive food source and a bold structural feature in the garden.

Its leaves are tender, mild, and ideal for regular harvesting throughout the year. As a true cut-and-come-again crop, it rewards frequent picking by producing fresh growth continuously.

Thriving in full sun or partial shade, Purple Tree Collard is well-suited to UK conditions and can tolerate light to moderate frosts, especially once established. It performs particularly well in sheltered spots, where it can reach impressive heights and provide year-round harvests.

Perfect for edible landscapes, forest gardens, or anyone looking to grow more perennial food, this is a standout plant that blends productivity with real visual impact. Easily propagated from cuttings, it’s a long-term investment in a resilient, low-maintenance food system
