Variety characteristics:

• W1472 Zidantou Mild Pickling Pepper (Capsicum annuum) is an early Chinese processing pepper selected for heavy fruit set, uniform bullet-shaped pods and dependable repeated production. The smooth fruits develop a rich, glossy green color with broad shoulders, a short cylindrical body and a rounded to gently tapered tip.
Firm, thick walls surround a comparatively small seed cavity, providing excellent usable flesh and a satisfying texture for pickling. The flavor is typically mild with a gentle pepper heat, making the fruits well suited to Chinese-style pao jiao, refrigerator pickles, relishes, sauces and fresh cooking.
Plants continue setting fruit when supplied with consistent moisture and balanced fertility during the productive season. The firm pods also offer useful handling and short-distance market-shipping quality when harvested promptly and kept cool.
