Winfred Brassica (Brassica napus)

Winfred Brassica is a cool-season forage brassica hybrid, typically a cross between turnip-type and rape-type brassicas, valued for its fast growth, high forage yield, and strong deer attraction. It produces a leafy plant with moderate bulb and root development and typically grows 12–30 inches tall, depending on soil fertility and growing conditions. Commonly used in wildlife food plots, livestock forage systems, and cover crop mixtures, it thrives in cool temperatures, full sun, and fertile, well-drained soils. Winfred Brassica performs best in fall and into light frost conditions, which often improves palatability and wildlife use.
