The growing period lasts 130–150 days, and the reward for your patience is roots with a high carotene and sugar content that will keep until spring in a cool cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"color: #5C3727; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e late carrot, long root\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eRoot:\u003c\/strong\u003e orange-red, uniformly colored\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSowing outdoors:\u003c\/strong\u003e April (for summer and autumn harvest), first half of May (for storage)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHarvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e September – October\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePosition:\u003c\/strong\u003e sunny, light, well-prepared soil\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDifficulty:\u003c\/strong\u003e easy\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNumber of seeds per packet:\u003c\/strong\u003e approx. 4,000 (5 g)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"color: #5C3727; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eWhat makes this variety stand out\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor decades, Koral has been one of the most popular late carrots in Poland – and for good reason. The roots are long (up to 20 cm in good conditions), conical-cylindrical, smooth and deeply colored, with no green or pale shoulders. The variety has a low tendency to accumulate nitrates, while its high dry matter content results in an intense flavor and a thick, sweet juice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen it comes to storage, Koral is one of the most durable amateur varieties: in a box of sand, at a temperature close to 0°C, it stays firm throughout the winter. It also freezes well – after blanching, it does not become soft.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"color: #5C3727; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eGrowing step by step\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003eSowing (April – first half of May, directly outdoors):\u003c\/strong\u003e sow in April for summer and autumn consumption, and by mid-May for winter supplies. Space rows 30–40 cm apart, sow at a depth of 1–2 cm, in light, deeply loosened soil without fresh manure. Lightly firm the bed after sowing and keep it moist until emergence (2–3 weeks).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003eThinning:\u003c\/strong\u003e when the seedlings are 2–3 cm tall, thin them to 5–8 cm apart; repeat after a month if necessary. Koral’s long roots need space – overcrowded plants will produce thin, crooked carrots.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003eCare during the season:\u003c\/strong\u003e weed and loosen the soil regularly, and water evenly, especially in July and August, when the roots thicken most rapidly. Potassium fertilization improves flavor and storage life; excess nitrogen has the opposite effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: #656B39;\"\u003eHarvesting and storage:\u003c\/strong\u003e harvest in October on a dry day, loosening the roots with a garden fork (long roots can easily break when pulled by the foliage). Cut off the foliage, do not wash the roots, and store them in sand or perforated bags at 0–2°C and high humidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"color: #5C3727; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.5em;\"\u003eUses\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKoral is a carrot \u003cstrong\u003efor juicing\u003c\/strong\u003e – its intense color and high carotene content produce a thick, sweet juice without a watery aftertaste.
