Bayou is a medium maturing forage brassica with good winter hardiness and a smooth leaf with a nutty flavor that is sweet to human taste. This kale has a smaller stem compared to kale yet grows to height of eight feet when taken for seed production.
Product Details
- Excellent regrowth
- Forage brassica
- Good winter hardiness
- Great for food deer food plots
- Protects soil from erosion
Product Information
In preliminary trials, the tap root of Bayou is very promising for opening up the soil. When planted in late summer or early fall, Bayou Kale is considerable more winter hardy than radish; this helps protect the soil longer from erosion. Initial observations show that when it was grown for cover, it reduced Soybean Sudden Death Syndrome and possibly reduced white mold.
The spring green-up of Bayou Kale is similar to forage rapes. Seed size and crop management of Bayou are similar to other brassicas, like turnips. Bayou should be planted between July and August for the Midwest, or between September and October for the South.
Plant in the Fall at a rate of 5 - 7 lbs per acre. This seed needs to be at a rate of 1/4 and prefers a pH of 5.8 - 6.

United StatesI have bought several seed products from Hancock Seeds over the years and my experience is top notch customer service and seeds that are of top quality. They are a great company with timely shipping.
Awesome! We greatly appreciate your business.
United StatesI have not planted Kale yet! The last two orders were delivered damage free. However the last order I received with the seed spreader and clover was a different story. Both boxes were damaged. luckily the spreader was double boxed and was not damaged. The box containing the two bags of clover was damaged so bad that both bags leaked. I estimate that a couple pounds were lost. Best Regards, Paul
