Carambola F1

bee-pollinated mid-season hybrid of mixed flowering type, with a high percentage of female flowers, both on the main stem and on lateral shoots. Up to 60-70% of nodes on the main stem are female. One to two (up to three) ovaries form in each leaf axil. Intended for cultivation in winter-spring, spring, and extended cycles. The hybrid has a powerful root system and is suitable for growing both in soil and using low-volume technology. High shade tolerance. Plants are vigorous with above average branching. Leaves are dark green, large, and the plant has good foliage. Fruits are 19-21 cm long, 4.0-4.5 cm in diameter, weighing 200-220 g. The fruit color is dark green, glossy with small light green stripes extending up to 1/3 of the fruit length. Bumps are large and spaced apart; spines are white. The base of the fruit has a neck or small "handle". The flesh is juicy and crunchy, suitable for salads. Fruits store and transport well. The hybrid is relatively resistant to root rot, ascochyta, and powdery mildew.
