About Catskill
Catskill is an old Brussels sprout type known for sturdy plants and relatively large sprouts. It is a traditional garden variety suited to cool fall production.
Growing Catskill Brussels Sprout
Provide enough spacing and fertility for full stalk development, because crowded plants make looser sprouts. Pick lower sprouts first once they are firm, and do not let them split from overmaturity.
