Early maturity of the variety

A variety’s earliness refers to the time required to produce the first ripe fruits from the moment the seedlings are planted. It does not determine the growth habit, plant size, or the total duration of the fruiting period. This parameter is particularly important in cooler climates, where the growing season is short. In regions with a short growing season, it is advisable to choose earlier varieties, treating the specified number of days as a comparative value rather than a guaranteed harvest date.
