Can Broccoli Produce in Its Second Year?
We have a broccoli plant that survived the winter. Now it’s more like a bush. Will it produce again? it’s very big.

It may produce more new clusters but the space it takes up and the quality of the second year florets make it not worth saving. Broccoli can also harbor pests when allowed to live for more than a season.
Keep growing,
