‘Gypsy’ broccoli is a very adaptable variety with a strong root system for summer or autumn crops, with uniform, well-domed heads with a medium-small bead size and medium-sized stem. Large, healthy plants tolerate heat and have some resistance to downy mildew. Harvest the plants when the broccoli buds of the head are firm and tight, cutting 5 to 10 inches down on the stalk. This will promote the growth of side shoots which will provide an abundance of smaller broccoli heads over a long period. We recommend ‘Gypsy’ for organic gardening.
