An impressive early ripening variety with outstanding flavor, yield and disease resistance.  Carnival ripens evenly with meaty fruits and few seeds. I find the large, 8 ounce fruits are excellent for slicing on sandwiches and burgers. I also use the tasty fruits in my home made salads, sauces, and cooked dishes. The short compact vines produce earlier than Celebrity and have good protective foliage with vigorous growth.
