Seven Top Turnip

Seven Top Turnip – Coated with All-Vantage
High-Leaf-Yield Forage Turnip for Fall Attraction and Winter Nutrition

Seven Top Turnip is a specialized brassica bred to produce abundant leafy tops rather than a large root bulb, making it an ideal choice for providing high-protein forage in the late summer, fall, and early winter months. Wildlife such as deer, turkeys, and other game animals flock to its tender greens, especially after the first frosts when sugar levels increase, enhancing palatability.

Unlike traditional turnip varieties that split energy between foliage and bulb, Seven Top puts nearly all of its growth into producing a dense canopy of nutrient-rich leaves—often 18–22 inches tall under good growing conditions. These tops deliver 18–22% protein and can regrow after moderate browsing, extending forage availability deeper into the season.

This seed is pre-inoculated and coated with All-Vantage—a premium seed coating designed to boost germination rates, improve seedling vigor, and enhance nutrient uptake. The coating also aids in moisture retention around the seed during germination, resulting in faster establishment and stronger early growth.

Seven Top Turnip is a versatile choice for both standalone plots and as part of a blended planting with other brassicas, cereal grains, or clovers. Its quick canopy closure helps suppress weeds while protecting the soil from erosion, and when tilled back in, it contributes valuable organic matter to the soil.
