Unforgettable steel grey-blue skinned Crown Prince F1, with deep orange flesh, renowned for its eating qualities having deep orange flesh with a sweet and nutty flavour. A very worthy winner of an AGM. It stores well too allowing you to enjoy the fruits right through to late spring.
Sow: between late April and the end of May, start 1 seed per pot or module, 20-25mm deep. Keep moist but not waterlogged. Harden off & plant out in June
Grow: they like a sunny spot with lots of organic matter dug in. ‘Plant’ a plastic bottle (upside down with the base cut off) close to each plant so that you can direct water to their roots. After harvesting in October leave them outdoors for about 14 days to harden the skin for storing (protect from frost) or ripen in a greenhouse or sunny windowsill.
Eat: renowned for its eating qualities having deep orange flesh with a sweet and nutty flavour. It stores well allowing you to enjoy the fruits through to late spring.
