Variety characteristics:

• W1448 Zhoupi La Wrinkled Hot Pepper F1 (Capsicum annuum L.) is an early first-generation hybrid developed for distinctive fruit texture, aromatic heat and dependable market quality. The productive plants set short, irregularly cylindrical peppers with deeply folded, glossy surfaces and characteristic recessed blossom ends.
Market-stage fruits are yellow-green, ripening to a brilliant glossy red when allowed to mature fully. Each pepper typically measures approximately 3 inches long and 1.6–2 inches across, with an average weight of 1.4–1.8 oz. The thin walls, approximately 0.08 inch thick, surround three to four internal chambers and create a tender cooking texture.
Zhoupi La delivers a lively hot flavor balanced by a fresh, aromatic pepper character. Its dramatic wrinkled appearance, bright color transition and convenient individual size make it an excellent specialty pepper for stir-fries, roasting, fresh cooking and pickling.
The hybrid combines early production with strong fruit presentation in both open-field and protected-culture systems. Under favorable conditions, mature-green fruits reach harvest approximately 30 days after first flowering, supporting an early and efficient market window.
