The 2022 season was rich in giants! A gorgeous variety from Italy – Gigante di Carmagnola! The variety comes from the province of Turin, where the town of Carmagnola is located.
Indet, grew it in the greenhouse, the bush is very strong, the variety is highly productive, and there were just so many enormous fruits! Some of the fruits reached over 2 lbs (900 g). The taste quality is very good, mine turned out very sweet, though to be fair, almost all varieties were sweet this year! For me, it was a late variety, meaning it started to ripen later than my other giant varieties. Seeds were from Natalya Drazhakova.
