Description

Medium-early carrot, with uniform cylindrical and truncated shape. It has a small heart and is well colored. Suitable for both early cultivation as a bunch and wash carrot, but also for late cultivation for storage. It grows straight and fast and is hardy to pests. Pleasant, sweet, juicy-fresh, round taste. Smooth skin, bright orange after washing, very thin. Therefore, freshly harvested well edible without peeling. The foliage changes from light green to juicy dark green.

Non hybrid

Growing tips

Spacing: 25-35 cm between rows, 6-10 cm in the row. Sowing depth 1cm (early) to 2 (late) cm. Light to medium, deeply permeable soil without waterlogging. Loosen soil deeply before sowing. Germination period 10-21 days at 5-35°C. Avoid areas with fresh organic fertilizer because of carrot fly. Weed regularly. Development time: 90-120 days. Mixed cultivation with dill promotes germination and protects against pests. Use: fresh and storage (in the ground as long as possible). Heat requirement: low. Tolerates light frost when fully grown. Recommended cultivation period: 3-4 years.
