About

Fruits are blocky bells with glossy skin and medium walls. They start forest green and finish a darker olive, and they never turn red. Use them raw or cooked anywhere a green bell fits. Plants stay compact, about 60 to 80 cm, and were selected for a short northern season.

Backstory

Elwyn Meader released Permagreen in 1965 while he was professor of horticulture at the University of New Hampshire. He bred for cool, short seasons. Sand Hill Preservation Center kept the line after it dropped out of most catalogs.
