Description

“When we started our “”farmer’s Italian”” red pepper project, this is pretty much what we had in mind—a brilliant red with smooth skin, medium thick walls, strong shoulders, fruits averaging 8-9 inches long, tapering to a slightly blunted tip. An early, sweet frying and roasting pepper that keeps long after final harvests in October—we are usually eating these for breakfast with eggs until Christmas. Mature 116 days post-trans. at OSU/Corvallis OR Farm Original Variety!”
