Pagoda 70 is a Chinese Cabbage with a long cone-shaped head that takes longer to mature than other traditional napa varieties—making it more stress-tolerant and resistant to bolting and black speck. We love it for its beautiful ruffled leaves and its sweet and peppery flavor. Since it softens as well, it's often used with meats in stir-fries and soups during the last stages of cooking. Or you can preserve it by drying or pickling.

Field Notes:

Growing Tips

• Sow in spring while the soil is still cool.
• Plant again in late summer for harvesting in the fall.
• If the plants experience late spring frosts or more than a week of nights below 50°F, they are likely to bolt (produce a flowering stalk and stop growing) once warm weather returns.
• Because Chinese Cabbages are heavy feeders, apply a balanced fertilizer and maintain nutrient-rich soil.
• Oats can be used as a companion plant to prevent clubroot and other soil-borne diseases, increase growth, and attract beneficial insects.

Harvesting

• Harvest when the heads reach the size you want.
• In the fall, cut heads high leaving the base of the plant intact. Small heads will often regrow from the stub.
• During the fall season Chinese Cabbages can tolerate a light frost, but be sure to harvest all cabbage heads before a hard freeze.
