Pea variety Karacter, also known as Karubi, is a mid-season variety with large sugar pea pods reaching 12-13 cm in length and up to 4 cm in width. This variety is distinguished by its especially sweet, honey-like flavor of the seeds and juicy pod walls up to 2 mm thick, making it particularly attractive for fresh consumption with pods. The pods are light green in color, and each pod contains 6-7 peas. Karacter stands out among other varieties for its high yield and prolonged flowering period, which lasts throughout the season, with pods maintaining sweetness even when slightly overripe.
Karacter pea plants are strong and bushy, reaching heights of 120-140 cm, with the first flowering occurring at about 60 cm above ground. The flowers are large, with a purplish-blue hue, and the racemes are also notably large. For successful cultivation of this variety, a sturdy support, such as a trellis, is required, to which the plants should be tied every 20 cm to prevent stem bending under the weight of large pods. The plant requires regular watering, as its drought resistance is below average, and water deficiency may reduce the sweetness of the pods.
The Karacter variety is ideal for those who appreciate high-quality sugar peas with a distinct dessert flavor and large pods. Thanks to its characteristics, it will be an excellent choice for cultivation in conditions where sufficient watering and reliable plant support can be provided. Its high yield and extended flowering period make this variety advantageous for gardeners and farmers aiming to obtain a stable and flavorful harvest.
