(70 days) F-1 hybrid. Johnny’s debuted Carmen in 2006 to much critical acclaim, including a coveted AAS. A classic Italian Corno di Toro type, Carmen features unusually sweet horn-shaped tapered pointed 2½x6" fruits averaging 5 oz that won rave reviews from all seven of our tasters. (How often does that happen at Fedco?) Great for salads, especially as they ripen from green to deep carmine, with good sweet flavor. Rob and Janika called Carmen “fruity,” “nutty,” “sweet with a hint of spice.” Emily Skrobis emotes, “Wildly flavorful. I love it even though it’s a hybrid. I make sure to freeze some roasted Carmens each season.” Walls are only medium-thick, so take care not to get them overly charred when roasting. Upright medium-sized plants with excellent protective canopy. Widely adapted and early maturing in its class. ③
