Syrian from Aleppo

Purple fruit 7-8" long and bell-shaped. Fruits are broader at the base (averaging 4") than at the stem end (averaging 3"). Plants reach 4' tall, productive. Grown by Bruce Chituck in 2022 for the Collection Documentation Project; he noted it was the "longest to set fruit, but when it does, lots of fruit, not overloaded with seed." This variety came to SSE circa 2000 from Exchange lister Don Moore (IA MO D2), who received it from a friend who had recently brought the variety to the U.S. from Aleppo, Syria. SSE Accession # 109622
