Wanted: Tree Collard Cuttings

[starling1]

Looking to buy tree collard cuttings. Purple would be best but will take any varieties. Pm.

I have purple tree collards, although I don't think they'd survive shipping to Australia

Mine died to grubs unfortunately. Can we trade? I mainly have sweet potato cuttings and some other stuff like chipilin seeds. Has your ever flowered? I was thinking of breeding with tree collards. Crossing it with kale, broccoli and other stuff.

Which variety of sweet potato do you have?  Mine haven't flowered yet

Aren't they also known as walking stick cabbage?
If so, they are available in seed packets here in Aus. I bought a packet several years ago.

similar but different.  As I understand it, walking stick kale/cabbage is more for fodder, while tree collards are tender, especially where they get some cold (i.e. bay area).

I have had some growing, that reached about 6 feet tall, but withered and died.  I don't think they like our humidity and/or sun intensity.  I may try them again under a shade house, but I have so many other leafy perennials that are overgrown atm that it isn't a high priority.

I have molokai purple cuttings, liberty cuttings (haven't harvested it), unknown purple (probably from those "Japanese Yams" in ethic markets), okinawan purple in a 2 months, orange barberman, and razorback (Sandhill sent me this in assortment but don't list it in their catalog ) .
