They should be supported by cages or stakes for best fruit quality.This variety is most likely a strain of ‘Federle’, which came from a West Virginia gardener to Seed Savers Exchange in 1991. ‘WV Pepper’ was introduced by Two Seeds in a Pod from gardener Joy Williams of Morgantown, WV and was reputed to have higher yields than ‘Federle’.83 days from transplant to harvest.
