Narrative
Info from owner: This was developed in the 20s by his great grandfather Elisha Morris and his grandfather Fairley Morris, who wanted a consistent variety. They developed over the years through selection a strain with short stems and the ability to form a rosette that was almost a head. By the late 20s the Morris Heading variety was fully developed. Elisha died in 1933 and Fairley devoted the 30s to selling and promoting the new collard. NCSU selected the collard for its ?recommended? list in the early 50s and sales of the seed expanded greatly. Seed companies purchased seed from the Morris family for several years but then started growing and saving their own Morris collards. The Morris family has struggled lately to survive in the plant and seed business. This particular seed may be different from seeds collected for decades by farmers or seed companies, because Eric?s father Lawrence Morris ?tweaked? their collard a little 15 or 20 years ago to produce a plant with less of a heading habit. That action was taken in response to complaints by customers that Morris collards were developing too much of a head. Therefore it is possible that collectors have saved seeds and preserved a variety with more of a head than is being produced now by the Morris family.
