This Sheepnose type pepper was discovered and revived by seed-saver and permaculturist, Rob Danford, in the Smoky Mountains of Ashe County, North Carolina.

 

At maturity, it yields an incredibly sweet, bright-red, super thick-fleshed pimento pepper measuring about 3 - 4" in diameter by 1½ inches tall.

 

These peppers tolerate cool evenings and morning dew better than most and are drought- tolerant, to boot, making these a great candidate for growing in a pot on your deck!

 

Great raw, as well as for cooking, roasting, and canning - holding a good texture and flavor. Their squat shape is ideal for stuffing.

 

Sold in a 2.62" wide x 3.5" deep pot.

    Accuracy about the origins

    This is a great pepper and will grow well here in Ashe County, NC. Although Rob Danforth may have "re-discovered" it and although he may be from the Smoky Mountains, if you would like to be accurate with your geography, you will find that Ashe County is in the Blue Ridge Mountain Range of the Appalachians, not the Great Smoky Range.
