Brassica oleracea var. capitata

Early Jersey Wakefield is a historic Sugarloaf Cabbage producing distinctive conical, tightly packed heads weighing approximately 1–1.5 kg. The pale green leaves are particularly tender and sweet, making this an excellent dual-purpose cabbage for both cooking and fresh eating.
