Origin & Breeding History: 'Orginale' (breeder's reference E20B.0261) originated from a controlled cross conducted between two lines, 'E20B.0261-F' and 'E20B.0261-M', in 2015 at the Enza Zaden research location in Enkhuizen, Netherlands. From the resulting progeny, the hybrid orange pepper variety 'Orginale' was selected in 2016 for its plant vigour; fruit production, weight, shape, shelf life, setting ability; and disease resistance. In 2017 and 2018, 'Orginale' was further trialed in the Netherlands and Canada where performance was confirmed.

Tests & Trials: The detailed description of 'Orginale' is based on the UPOV report of Technical Examination, for National Listing application number PPS1974, purchased from the Naktuinbouw in Roelofarendsveen, Netherlands. The trial was conducted by the Naktuinbouw in Roelofarendsveen, Netherlands in 2020 and 2021. The National Listing report for 'Orginale' was used to support the PBR application number 2019/1973 in the Community Plant Variety Office.
