We achieved 95% germination on 2006 seed this February. The Bull Nose is a simple sweet pepper in the 4 inch range that in most years does quite well for yield and quality. The sidewalls are a little thinner than the other blocky bell types such as Cal Wonder. Very good yield this year, with ripening this past week.

I grew this one for the first time this year(2009) and will grow it again. This is the most productive bell pepper I've ever grown. I planted in April and they are still producing though the fruit is not as large. I love the taste, no heat at all. It freezes good also.
