Its botanical name is Brassica oleracea var. sabauda, belonging to the Cruciferae family (Brassicaceae). The plant is hardy, with good vegetative vigour and a semi-upright habit. The head is compact, round and heavy, bright medium-dark green in colour, with fine blistering, and an average weight of 1.5-2.0 kg.

How to Sow Tourmaline Savoy Cabbage

The growing cycle is very long, around 150-160 days from transplanting, and harvest is recommended in February and March, making it suited to late-winter harvests.

A hardy variety with excellent tolerance to bacterial disease and resistance to low temperatures, it adapts well to prolonged growing into late season without losing quality.

Given the length of the growing cycle, plan a good base fertilisation programme and consistent watering, especially during head formation.

Diseases and Pests of Tourmaline Savoy Cabbage

Like other Brassicaceae, it can be affected by cabbage white caterpillars and aphids. Its excellent tolerance to bacterial disease (Xanthomonas) is a significant advantage for this variety.
