Cabbage Pak Choi Green Stem
Cabbage Pak Choi Green Stem, Shanghai Pak Choy, or Baby Pak Choy has green stems and a mature height of just 6 to 8-inches. Harvest young and the entire plant may be steamed and eaten whole, as it is in southern China. Varieties with green stems can withstand more adverse conditions that its white stemmed form. We recommend to sow the seeds early or late in the season because they quickly bolt in hot dry conditions. You can grow them into early winter and use young flowering stems like broccoli.
