Well, my Big Blue Tree Collard plant is growing nicely. It has its second set of true leaves developing right now. But, I had to come and watch this video again to refresh my memory, as I just saw 2 sprouts from my 7 Dinosaur Tree Collard seeds that I soaked for a day, and then planted just 4 days ago! Now I have 2 kinds! Three, really, since they do not reproduce perfectly true to seed, right? I'm lovin' it!
@@projecttreecollard It brings me back to the genetics we learned in school. White flowers; red flowers; pink flowers; Punit squares. I am super excited about the tree collards. I have a Big Blue, a couple Dinosaur, and just planted some soaked Purple and Jolly Green last night. We are getting ready to order seeds from varieties we do not have yet, and I am filling up my food forest with Tree Collards spread all throughout. They are a nice second step in my quest for trees with good to eat leaves. I just counted yesterday, and on my small, city lot, I have 159 Moringa Trees growing. And they are starting to produce their drumstick fruits!
Wonderful video, thanks for sharing your knowledge about the dino tree kale. Rebecca Newborn did a generous giveaway yesterday, and I managed to procure a few cuttings. I have put them in pots to root. I also purchased some Purple Tree Collard cuttings from Project Tree Collard in July 2020, and I have a few lovely plants now almost as tall as me (I am 5'5"). Enjoying the graceful beauty of the plant, and the gorgeous color changes. I actually made a video short about it a few days ago! Question: I hear that tree collards take up a lot of calcium from the soil and I will need to amend it annually with some calcium rich fertilizer. Is it true? And if so, will a handful of powdered eggshells once a year applied near the roots be sufficient?
awesome:) I used to use crushed egg shells in Berkeley. They do take a LONG time to break down enough to become available to the plants. Here, my soil tests showed a BIG calcium deficiency before I planted anything. So I used gypsum which is super cheap and is taken up by plants much more quickly than powdered eggshells.
Is this one called the green tree collards also
No. Those are green. These are not the same genes
@@projecttreecollard Have you did a video on the green tree collards
@@ladrenathomas53 No but the video about Jolly Green Tree Collards should be accurate except that Jolly Green grow a lot taller and quicker

yes, they will be slightly different from each other. Super fun!

@@projecttreecollard awesome tip. I will add gypsum to the soil. Thank you!
