Charmant is well adapted to the different cabbage production areas of South Africa and has an excellent yield and field holding ability. The blue-green leaves form a large frame offering very good protection to the head from sun and wind damage. Heads can weigh from 0.5 – 1.5 kg if left on the field under normal conditions. Charmant can be used for the pre-packed supermarket, processing and export market. Charmant has intermediate resistance to Fusarium yellows (Foc).
