Red pepper 35-189 RZ is named Nesbitt

The pepper variety which was known as 35-189 RZ has a new name: Nesbitt RZ. The name of this red bell pepper was revealed on Thursday, October 8th during a special meeting with Dutch growers.
 
Nesbitt RZ has a beautiful, glossy color, firm fruit and a stable fruit weight. The bell pepper has a long shelf life and is suitable for bulk packaging, but also for a ‘traffic light’: a green, yellow and red bell peppers package.

Beforehand it was already clear that the name would be related to the winter, because all pepper varieties of Rijk Zwaan have a link with ice. They chose Nesbitt, the successful Canadian speed skater who has an Olympic title to her name. Nesbitt has just stopped skating. For the red bell pepper it is just starting.
