The root is near cylindrical with a blunt end.Excellent variety for giant vegetable competitions and as stock feed for horses, pigs and cattle. A good, reliable heavy cropper that stores well.

That sounds like an interesting carrot. Do you have any pictures of it?

Pics try: www.kingsseeds.co.nz/shop/Field+Selection/Field+Crops/Carrot+Orange+Jumbo.htmlI have looked around asking friends about Wanganui Giant Carrot but they said that it seemed to have disappeared but rumors have it that some people around Ohakune still have versions of it so i will go hunting in Ohakune this holiday break, wish me luck! The Ohakune carrot is 7.5 metres tall but it does not set seeds! LOL

Burpee sells Orange Rocket. Not to toss this in as a stock carrot, rather this is a highly vigorous carrot for a crowded garden. It would fill the bill for turleheart's nasturtium and violet crowded garden.
