| It's a good pepper but a very heavy feeder. Rich soil boosted with Osmacote and weekly applications of a tomato type fertilizer is a must for this one, It does better in container gardening where it's easier to keep the plants fed. The brown color is strange on the unripe peppers but they go green when cooked. Ripe they go standard red color. Very flavorful, heavy, thick-walled peppers if you can keep them fed. |

| Chocolate Bell was not competitive here. It produced peppers but yield were low, peppers were smaller than expected and were not visually attractive. |
