Abstract: We introduce a tropical enumerative invariant depending on a variable $y$ which generalizes the tropical refined Severi degree. We show that this refined broccoli invariant is indeed independent of the point configuration, and that it specializes to a tropical descendant Gromov-Witten invariant for $y=1$ and to the corresponding broccoli invariant for $y=-1$. Furthermore, we define tropical refined descendant Gromov-Witten invariants which equal the corresponding refined broccoli invariants giving a new insight to the nature of broccoli invariants. We discuss various possible generalizations e.g. to refinements of bridge curves and Welschinger curves.
