Short / Low Variety Brussel Sprouts

[Bigmallly]

I'm looking for some low growing sprouts that I can grow under my cages (approx 30" high), is there such a thing & can you advise on varieties. Horizontal varieties would be good...............Thanks.

I'm just looking for a variety that willl grow sprouts . It's the one crop that hasn't perfromed for me this last couple of seasons. My sprouts are the size of my little finger nail and useless

What about "Half tall"? Seems to grow to about 2.5 feet - several stockists Brussels Sprouts Early Half tall - Detailed item view - moreveg.co.uk, quality vegetable, herb and flower seed retailers
If they were too tall, could you dig out a hole and plant them deeper in your raised bed
You know what I mean!

At least now I can have bug free sprouts without the use of extra netting.

My sprouts always end up (nearly) horizontal anyway ~ well, 45 degree angle or less. I haven't bothered this year

That was going to be my next theory (to lean them @ 45 degrees) if I couldn't find any dwarf varieties........or maybe espalier sprouts.......

My sprouts this year were very short and then I realised that they were in fact cauliflowers - probably not much help to you though as I don't think that was what you were looking for . Neither was I, will teach me to buy emergency replacement plants from DIY type shops rather than looking after my own seedlings like I normally do!

No, it wasn't what I was looking for Alison, however it did make me smile so thanks for that.
