Is it true that Broccoli does not grow in the wild because it was bred from wild cabbage, Brassica oleracea?
Yes. A reference article states that Brassica oleracea has been bred into a wide range of cultivars including broccoli, and other sources describe broccoli as a cultivated cole crop of B. oleracea rather than a wild plant.
