New pepper Cherokee* is now available

Dec 18, 2018 | General

Sakata recently launched a brand new F1 Hybrid sweet pepper variety that produces high quality fruit in the open field, called Cherokee*.  Cherokee* produces medium-large sized fruit with a smooth surface, shallow shoulders and turns bright red when it ripens.

The greatest attribute to this new sweet pepper is the fact that the plants have a taller growth habit and are suitable for production in areas where Tomato spotted wilt is a problem and trellising is used.  Ask your area representative for Cherokee*, the sweet pepper of the future.
