Bred by experts at the USDA, and introduced in 1963, this heirloom pepper variety produces heavy yields of large, blocky 4-5" x 3 1/2-4" fruits. The thick-walled, dark-green to red peppers have a sweet, juicy taste and crisp texture. Vigorous and prolific, the 26-30" upright plants bear over a long season and an excellent choice for the South. Harvest in 72-80 days after transplant.
