Louisiana Red

This is a very pretty plant. The pods, which are borne in the middle of the plant, are solid pink, long, slender, and ridged. They have a tendency to curve as they lengthen and are extremely spiny! The plants are mid-sized and very uniform. They have upward curving basal branches that reach nearly the same height as the central stem, resmebling a candelabra. This variety is edible up to 7". This variety was moderately productive during the 2021 growout at Heritage Farm. Mid season to late maturing variety. SSE Accession # 114089
