Beschreibung

Brussels sprouts (lat. Brassica oleracea var. gemmifera) are a special variety of vegetable cabbage from the cruciferous plant family. On its tall shoot, buds (leaf florets) form in a dense arrangement and are harvested as vegetables.

Anbautipps

Frequent hoeing promotes root formation and stability of the plant ("root crop"). In autumn, during the formation of florets, you should water especially well. In mid-September, when the first florets have already grown, cut the top shoot so that the florets are more uniform and stronger on the sides. It is important to remove rotting buds regularly to ensure the health of your plant. You can break off yellow leaves, but the green leaves are best left on the stalk. They protect your Brussels sprouts from frost. Pick the florets carefully from the bottom up from the stalk. Brussels sprouts are hardy in many areas. In very cold regions, you can simply overwinter the whole plant in a protected, shady spot outdoors.
