Ontara

The Ontara pepper variety is an early-maturing tomato-type pepper, characterized by a compact bush about 40 centimeters tall, making it especially suitable for growing in containers, under plastic coverings, and in open ground. The vegetation period ranges from 60 to 70 days, allowing for a relatively quick harvest. This variety is suitable for both greenhouse and outdoor cultivation, expanding its usability in various climatic conditions.

Ontara peppers have a rounded, flattened, heart-shaped form, with thick walls approximately 10 millimeters thick, one of the thickest flesh among peppers. The weight of a single fruit varies from 60 to 70 grams, sometimes reaching up to 100 grams. In technical maturity, the fruits are white-green, and in biological maturity, they turn bright red. The flesh is juicy and crisp, with no voids, providing a pleasant sweet taste and aroma.

The Ontara variety is versatile in use: it can be eaten fresh, used for pickling and preserving, and for preparing various home dishes. Thanks to its juicy and succulent flesh, the fruits retain their flavor qualities through different processing methods, making this variety popular among gardeners and cooks. The seed producer is the Czech company Moravoseed, ensuring high-quality planting material.
