Sweet, Stocky Red Roaster Pepper

Capsicum annum.

This gorgeous Italian-type sweet red roasting pepper has thick walls, excellent taste, easy-to-peel skin after roasting, and it even keeps a relatively long time after harvesting. Fruit are 4 to 6 inches long. Bred by Frank Morton of Wild Garden Seeds, this is an open source variety that carries the Open Source Seed Initiative's pledge. Very short growing seasons may be pushing it with this pepper, but it can be very productive.  If you like excellent, flavorful, crunchy sweet red peppers, look no further!

Grown by Eric and Hannah Fredericks of Driftless,WI.
