A popular heirloom that dates back to the 1890's, 'Long Island Improved' is a improvement over the then popular 'Catskill'.  'Long Island Improved' has a compact habit and high sprout set.  The sprouts themselves are sweet and tender.  Time this variety to have a couple months of growing time prior to a cool down and a month of cool conditions to produce the sprouts.  Plants will not produce sprouts if exposed to temperatures above 85 degrees for an extended amount of time.   Can be grown in the ground or in containers.
