About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
A proven further development of the old blocky pepper, valued for its dense, protective foliage and its good tolerance to tobacco mosaic virus. The large, angular fruits have thick walls and ripen from green to red. The abundant leaf canopy shields the fruit well from sun scald, which makes the variety interesting for more open positions too. Open pollinated and straightforward for the home garden.
Full fleshed and juicy, fresh while still green and pleasantly mild and sweet once fully ripe.
