Like all turnips, the Seven Top is a biennial plant, but differs from the majority of varieties in its lack of bulbous subterranean stem. This version is cultivated exclusively for its greens. While most turnip varieties were historically grown for animal fodder as well as human consumption, the Seven Top has been cultivated in the South since the 1830s exclusively for the human table. Planted in the fall for winter harvest, the foliage of the Seven Top is ready for harvest 45 days after sowing. If ingested raw, the foliage is cut when it attains six to nine inches of height. When cooked, the greens are allowed to grow up to two feet in height. Planted in the fall for winter harvest, the foliage of the Seven Seven Top Turnips are extremely hardy and produce leafy, high quality forage.
