Product Description

The Chantenay Royal Carrot 2 is a classic heirloom variety, known for its broad-shouldered, conical roots that reach about 5-6 inches in length. It has a deep orange color with a sweet, crisp texture, making it ideal for fresh eating, cooking, and juicing. The roots have a uniform shape with a blunt tip, and they maintain their sweetness even when grown in heavier soils. The Chantenay Royal Carrot 2 is a vigorous grower, producing strong tops that make it easy to harvest. It’s particularly well-suited for winter storage, retaining its flavor and crunch.

Cultivation

• Soil type: Prefers loose, well-drained soil but adapts well to heavier soils if they are well-prepared.

• Watering frequency: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during germination; avoid waterlogging.

• Light exposure: Requires full sun, with at least 6-8 hours of direct light daily.

• Temperature requirements: Thrives in cooler conditions, ideally between 60-75°F (15-24°C).

• Fertilization: Use a low-nitrogen fertilizer to prevent excessive foliage growth.

• Pruning: Not required, but thinning seedlings ensures proper root development.

• Common pests: Watch for carrot rust flies and aphids; use floating row covers or organic treatments if needed.
