60 days — 'Quickpick Pinkeye' is a pinkeye purplehull type variety but its plant growing habit is quite different. The plants are determinate, erect, compact (reach about twenty inches), and non-vining. Because its pods are borne on the tops of the plants, its compactness, as well as its early maturity, "Quickpick" is an appropriate name for this variety. The pods are dark-purple and about seven to eight inches long containing nine to eleven, kidney-shaped seeds with large, maroon colored eyes. Both pods and peas tend to be slightly larger than other standard purplehull varieties.

'Quickpick Pinkeye' is resistant to Cowpea Blackeye Mosaic Virus and was bred at the Louisiana Agricultural Experiment Station. Introduced in 1997, PVP was awarded in 2001 and expired in February of 2021. Each ounce is approximately 150 seeds.
