Descripción

El repollo Red Acre es una variedad de repollo que produce cabezas compactas de color púrpura rojizo que son excelentes para almacenar y se pueden comer crudas o cocidas:
Las cabezas de repollo Red Acre suelen tener entre 15 y 18 cm de diámetro y pesan entre 0,9 y 1,8 kg. Son redondas y sólidas y mantienen su forma durante toda la temporada de crecimiento.
El repollo Red Acre es una variedad tradicional que crece mejor en climas más fríos y en áreas con poca maleza. Se puede plantar a principios de la primavera para una cosecha a fines de la primavera o principios del verano, o a fines del verano o principios del otoño para una cosecha otoñal. El repollo Red Acre es moderadamente tolerante a las heladas, pero se espigará en temperaturas más cálidas.
