Hello new and old followers of my kale tree! She's still going strong despite all the strong Santa Ana winds and storms we've had this past winter. Added some support to help also. She's looking less like a regular kale plant and more of a palm tree haha. I haven't officially measured but she's definitely taller than the house gutters. So I'm curious to see how tall this can get!

For those who didn't see my last post..I've had this kale growing since 2021 and it's still going strong.
