Barkan

Season Overview

Description

'Barkan' is a block bell pepper with medium-early harvest maturity. The large, elongated fruits weigh 250-330 g, have medium-thick flesh and reach lengths of 15 to 20 cm under glass or 8-9 cm outdoors. The visually attractive fruits develop a very good fruity, sweet and spicy flavor.

Growing tips

You should grow peppers in nutrient-rich soil in a sunny location. For a rich harvest, the first flower (terminal bud/'king flower') should be broken off. This promotes flower and fruit formation on the side shoots. Pull the plants with 3-4 shoots and remove the remaining shoots. In Central Europe, cultivation is usually annual, but the highest yield is only achieved 2-3 years after planting. To achieve this, the plant must be overwintered indoors. The fruits are harvested from July to September, depending on the variety and weather conditions.
