King of the North Sweet Pepper

70 days to maturity. Released in 1934, this heirloom pepper variety is primarily grown in northern climates with shorter growing seasons. The plants are highly productive, yielding large, blocky fruits that typically measure about 6 inches long by 4 inches wide. The thick-walled fruits usually have 3 to 4 lobes. While it performs well in cooler conditions, the plants are prone to blossom drop in hot weather.
