      This is now probably my favorite basil. Large leaves as big as your stretched palm. Grow rate and taste are similar to Genovese.

    2. Joseph –

      Absolutely love this variety. Goes perfectly with beefsteak tomato slices and mozzarella cheese for Caprese Salad. Very aromatic as well.

      My favorite variety! Excellent germination and it really has huge leaves! Same great flavor as Genovese, you need only one leaf for a sandwich! Everyone who sees it comments on the size.

    4. sdwelch –

      Huge leaves, fantastic flavor. Great germination. This will be my number one basil in the future.

    5. skinsplace4 –

      This basil is HUGE!! Grows easily and tastes like basil. It is amazing!

      Great germination, didnt grow as big as i thought it would, may be due to planting it in a container with other herbs?? but is wonderful for pesto!

    7. Patcharavadee Julotai –

      Great germination rate. Large leaves. Taste like Italian basil. Perfect for hamburgers, sliced tomato & mozzarella. They keep producing the whole summer. Highly recommend!

      I LOVE mammoth basils. Large leaves (as big as my palm). Taste is similar to Italian basils. It is perfect for sandwiches. I am on a low carb diet, so I replace buns with mammoth basil leaves. All of my friends are always amazed when they see my mammoth basils. I will absolutely grow them again.

      Hardy plants, grew very easily. I mistreated them and they still grew well.

      NC zone 7B. Grew well in summer in a hanging basket with 3 in there. Over crowded and let it go to flower after prunes and getting a foot tall. Not as tasty during hot summer days but a lot of fun. If you have a basil bed or like cool varieties worth a grow the leaves are huge and make good filler basil!

    13. Joseph –

      This basil is showy for sure with its large leaves, and perfect for Caprese salad. Unfortunately, I found that the flavor is not as strong as that of Italian large leaf basil.
