Cabbage Golden Acre (Brassica oleracea var. capitata) is a famous heirloom variety dating back to 1927, celebrated worldwide for its rapid maturity, compact habit, and exceptional quality.

Highly resistant to Cabbage Yellows (Fusarium wilt) and slow to bolt in early summer heat

Firm heads should be harvested promptly upon maturity to prevent splitting if heavy rains follow a dry period
Outer leaves require monitoring or floating row covers early in the season to protect against flea beetles and cabbage worms
