Vivant Forage Brassica is a Forage Turnip/Forage Rape hybrid that is a quick-growing brassica with very little bulb development. Vivant produces 80% more leafy vegetation than Purple Top Turnips (photo above).  Vivant Forage Brassica is an excellent choice for areas with high deer density because of its excellent regrowth after heavy grazing.
