85 days. Our trial evaluators unanimously ranked Eskimo top in flavor, texture and appearance. The 5 1/2 inch long, 1 1/4 inch wide, cylindrical, deep orange roots have a very clean, carroty taste with absolutely no bitterness. Eskimo can withstand frigid temperatures and still retain its delicious taste and integrity. During the fall and winter months the roots will keep in the ground without splitting. Nantes type. AB.
