| This is one of my lowest yielding plants. Only the Red Beauty has ever scored worse, and I keep track of pepper yield. It was surprising that the yield was so low, given that it is a bit smaller than some of the other big sweet peppers. I also didn't like the taste very much; it was okay when it got color but it was awful when it was still green. |

| First year growing it. It was sweet and when it turned red, it was even sweeter. Delicious raw, better when cooked in a little olive oil. |

| I have grown these in Nebraska, and my daughter in Michigan. They were better in Michigan. Here they were not very good yield, and flavor was only tolerable. I much prefer the flavor of a variety that I used to get from from Jungs, which was also a yellow bell, not quite as large, but better yield and flavor here. |

| Good flavor. Better yields in several years than other peppers in our dry northern sandy garden, poor in one. A bit pale with poor weather. |

| Nice fresh eating or salad pepper. If you like this one you should try Flamingo. It has the same great fresh eating or salad quality, same fruit coloring. However, the fruits are larger, blocky and yields are greater. |
