Purple Top Turnip

Description

Purple top turnips are an easy to grow, short season brassica species. They grow rapidly and are an excellent choice for fall grazing livestock or wildlife species. This dual-purpose plant produces a large purple top spherical root and leafy foliage that can both be grazed. Because they provide a high-protein and high-energy food source, turnips are one of the most popular food plot plants for whitetail deer.
