Big Star is a green leaf variety with a medium to large frame and a
impressive butt and midrib appearance at harvest time. Big Star also
possesses a strong bolting and tip-burn resistance under extremely warm
temperatures with long day lengths. It is very pliable at harvest
while exhibiting non-heading abilities with extremely dark green plant
color. Its strong holding abilities past harvest stage will improve
its leaf count while maintaining product quality and weight. Compare
Big Star to current commercial lines as Genecorp Green, Shining Star,
North Star, and Two Star.
