This variety was brought to our shores-and our gardens-by Italian immigrants. A deliciously old-fashioned broccoli, it boasts dark bluish-green central heads about 5" across. Tall, erect, 30-36" plants give way to multiple side shoots.

Calabrese 'Volta' produces rich green flavoursome heads in Autumn. 'Volta' is an easy to grow variety with bacterial disease tolerance, making it an ideal Calabrese for chemical-free gardening.
