Kamo is a highly prized traditional kyo yasai or Kyoto vegetable from the Kamo area of Japan. It has been a delicacy in that region for hundreds of years. This unique fruit is round with a flat bottom, purple-black skin, purple calyx, and weighs up to 1/2 lb.
Harvest when 4-5 inches in diameter, plump, and shiny. Lightly depress the skin; if the flesh indents and rebounds, it is ripe. If the skin no longer appears glossy, it is overripe.
Contains approx. 20 heirloom seeds
In cooler climates, Remember to germinate seeds at about 70 degrees in the greenhouse or inside. Transplant when all danger of frost has passed.
Planting Instructions: Seeds can be sown in cool or warm conditions, covered very lightly (depth of ¼ inch) and kept reasonably moist until seedlings emerge.
Plant or thin seedlings 6-12 inches apart. Can be grown in containers.
