This is the most heat tolerant broccoli variety I have ever grown. This heirloom variety comes from Brazil and is a non-heading broccoli. It will not form a single big head like traditional broccoli. Instead it forms multiple smaller branches similar to rapini or broccoli rabe. The more you harvest, the more side shoots it will produce. The entire plant leaves, stems, and florets are edible. The flavor is fantastic and doesn't get bitter even in high heat. It tastes like asparagus and broccoli rabe.
We have a very small window to grow traditional brassicas like broccoli and cauliflower in Florida. These crops bolt very easily when there is a hot day. Therefore, we grow brassicas during late fall, winter, and early spring. This can also be challenging because winter weather in Florida fluctuates so much. We have a cold day followed by a very warm day. Again, this triggers traditional brassicas to bolt. I find that if I have not harvested all of my broccoli/cauliflower by March, then its too late. However, this Piracicaba variety was still producing florets into the summer.
