The plants are medium to large diameter, with a large 
frame and short stem. Heads are about 61% inches wide 
by 6 inches deep, and the foliage dark green. Outer 
leaves are firmly attached in a way that reduces wrapper 
loss when cutting and trimming. The interior is well 
blanched with a medium sized core. Wrapper leaves 
protect the head from the sun.
