This variety, released in 2024, is part of the extraordinary “My Ukraine” series by Oleksiy Kulik, of Ochtyrka in the Sumy region of Ukraine. Despite the war, he continues to bring us incredible varieties, and this series was designed in reverence to the beauty and strength of his country. Located in the South West corner of the country, the Carpathian Mountains are essentially, the Eastern extension of The Alps, and also just happen to be the area that the Ukranian side of my family hails from.
Carpathian Fire is a gorgeous, bicolour beefsteak, in yellow-orange with pink streaks with a light dusting of anthocyanin, really reminiscent of a sunset in the mountains.
Indeterminate, regular leaf, mid season
Indeterminate plants are vigorous plants with a vining tendency.They set their fruits at intervals along their stems, and will readily grow side shoots and suckers (shoots from ground level).They need good, strong support, and it is advisable to remove the majority of the side shoots and suckers unless you have plenty of space and fertile soil to allow them to grow to their full potential.See the guide on pruning indeterminates in the resources section of the website for tips.
