Ruffled Purple Tree Collard (Rare)
Product Description: This Tree Collard is not any kind you have ever seen. It is a perennial plant that grows tall thus we refer to it as a “tree”. This is a unique breed that birthed on my friend’s property. The purple stems on this tree is more vibrant than other Purple Tree Collards I know. As we know research shows that natural food containing purple color has anthocyanin which has antioxidant effect, helping us fight off and prevent diseases. I have tested picking the top stems that were about to flower, and kept the bunch in the refrigerator, and most of the cuttings remain beautiful almost as if they were freshly cut. The picture here is showing the leaves that’s over a month old. I am convinced that the purple pigment on these cuttings is what’s producing the “anti-aging” effect. Tree Collard can be grown in the ground, or a 10-15 gallon container. Keeping them in full sun, or part shade with moist soil will keep them growing year round. They can handle the cold as well
