Both beautiful & edible; great dark colouring, extremely high quality flesh and a semi-bush habit. Black Bellota also has a very long shelf : can be stored for 6-8 months. This fabulous acorn type is particularly good for baking.
Acorn type
SOW: between late April to end of May, start 1 seed per pot or module
GROW: keep moist but not waterlogged. Harden off and plant out after all danger of frost has passed. In cooler areas you can protect young plants with cloches until they have settled in. After harvest leave them outdoors for about 14 days to harden the deep green skin for storing (protect from frost) or ripen in a greenhouse.
EAT: bake, roast or stir fry, use in soups or sweet pies.
