YUUSHOU

YUUSHOU

Product Description:

36 days (baby size). This green-stemmed pak choi is the slowest to bolt baby choi we’ve trialed. It produces very well-formed mini heads that measure 8 inches tall and 12 inches wide when small, 11 inches tall and 14 inches wide at maturity. The thick, tender leaves are stringless and the flavor is mild.

Bolted quickly in cool weather

I was excited to see these grow but before they got big enough, in April pacific northwest weather, they bolted and flowered. Disappointing. I cannot plant seed any earlier due to too much rain.

no bolt!

Maybe it was just our challenging weather this summer (hot June, cool and rainy July and August with a hot day here and there) but Yuushou absolutely refused to bolt (unlike Bopak Baby, which, though slow to bolt, eventually did so). I have never had a pak choi that performed so well here in Fairbanks, Alaska. I am hoping for a repeat performance next year.
