The Turkish «Charleston» type represents a group of medium-sized peppers with long, thin-skinned fruits that have a light green or yellow color at the technical maturity stage. The taste of the fruits is predominantly sweet but can vary depending on the hybrid; they are widely used for frying and pickling.
American varieties, such as «Charleston Belle» and «Charleston Hot», are breeding developments from South Carolina. «Charleston Belle» is a blocky sweet pepper that possesses resistance to root-knot nematodes due to the presence of the N gene, while «Charleston Hot» belongs to the pungent varieties.
