I'm growing them. I bought seeds this year. Still alive but only about 10inch plants
though I did start late and may try and overwinter.

The walking stick cabbage, also known as tree kale, has been cultivated on the Isle of Jersey for centuries. This startling plant's thick stems can reach 7 feet in one growing season and up to 10 feet the second growing season, are turned into walking sticks for tourists. They have even been grown into sturdy roofbeams for thatched island cottages, plus providing fine edible greens the whole time. Proper name: Brassica oleracea longata 'Walking Stick'
