Through the process of artificial selection, early farmers gradually shaped wild cabbage into an extensive list of cultivars as varied in appearance and personality as dog breeds. Plants with squatter, bulldog-ish leaf buds produced heads of cabbage.Those with more bloated flower clusters led to the poodle-y curds of cauliflower. And the leafiest sort eventually formed into floppy-eared, basset-like stalks of kale.
Jersey cabbage’s most distinctive feature is its height. Given the right conditions, the plant can reach upward of 10 feet or higher, towering over the rest of the garden like an ersatz palm tree. Strong and slender, its stalk can be harvested, dried, and fashioned into a walking stick, hence the alternative name, “walking stick kale.” Of course, the greens can also be eaten, just like lacinato or curly kale.
