Guatemalan Blue
This variety produces very elongated fruits, 40 cm long and up to 3 kg in weight. Their skin is blue-grey and their bright yellow flesh has a sweet flavor. The fruit occasionally takes on a darker blue hue.
Sow in pots at 18-20°C, 2 to 3 weeks before planting. Transplant with the root ball into the ground, after the last frosts, at a minimum distance of 2 m in all directions. To sow directly in the ground, sow after the last frosts, once the soil has warmed up. In both cases, prepare holes filled with compost or organic matter two weeks in advance to accommodate your seedlings or seeds.
