Overview
Carbon is an award-winning dark heirloom slicer, an early to main-season indeterminate with flat-oblate fruit that is purplish-brown outside and brick red within. Fruit runs 10 to 14 ounces and can exceed a pound, with a complex, rich flavor. Give the vine a tall stake or cage and prune suckers for airflow; deep, even watering limits cracking. Let the fruit color fully before picking. Around 90 days from transplant by one source. Good for salads, slicing, and canning.
