Where did you buy your green house? Can you also tell me where to get the tree collard cuttings? I’m located in Spring, Texas. – Ben

I don’t know about restrictions on shipping live plants to UK. Contact one of the ebay sellers and ask them.

Thanks, However, the tree collard does NOT produce true to seed. In other words, there are no guarantees that the plant from seed will be like the parent. The BEST way is to propagate from cutting not from seed. And since there are tons of places selling tree collards, why grow from seed? It takes too long and doesn’t produce clonal offspring. JMHO

I’m rooting some cutting I bought from Ebay. The purple leave variety seems to easier to root than the green…but, I also got a huge branch cutting of the purple and opposed to the green. I hope they make it, I’d love to be able to propagate some more.

We have 3 Tree Collards and love them. We are in Northern Calf. They were all started from cuttings and are planted outside in a shady area. They are doing great!

I don’t know anyone who has one of these. I am in North Florida. I am growing regular collards. I am also growing a grapefruit from seed. I just repotted it in better soil so I am crossing my fingers it will be ok.

I don’t see why it wouldn’t. I grew my cutting inside all winter long and it is now big enough for more cuttings. It should be 6 feet tall by end of summer. I also wonder how well it would do as a large potted plant indoors. Not sure. Also, if you had a greenhouse that would be ideal.

Great tips.
Sadly, MI is in the 5 and 6 zone.
I hate our cold winters and short growing season.
:^ (
Maybe I could cycle them during the year.
Grow it outside during the summer and take cuttings for winter growing and plant them again in the Spring….
Would that work?
