variety that can be grown as an annual or perennial. Plants grow up to 6
feet tall with silver-green leaves. Edible flower buds (chokes) are made
up of thick fleshy scales and solid centers (hearts). Chokes are medium
green in color with a slight purple tinge near the base and are 3 to 4 inches
in diameter at fresh market. Most thorns have been eliminated. There is
some variability in choke type and maturity. |

open when mature. Tender with a sweet mild flavor. Very productive with
excellent uniformity. More tolerant to cool weather than other green globe
types. (PVP, 1991, Regents of University of California)
