(55 days) Open-pollinated. We happened upon this hard-to-find Euro specialty carrot in a Spanish seed catalog, where it was mysteriously the only carrot variety offered. We found out why when we sent some trials in 2014 to Detroit’s Lafayette Greens where it swept the hybrid and OP competition. Entirely coreless, of distinctive translucent pinkish-orange, Coral won again in our 2016 trial of potential Nelson replacements. Best picked promptly for tender finger-sized Early Nantes–type roots that taper to a semi-blunt tip. The mild sweetness is boosted by a notable aroma, described as “carrot perfume” by staff tasters. With the most upright tall tops of our summer carrot trial, Coral delivers a continental flair not unnoticed by our customers. ①
