These pepper plants did very well. They yielded full size yellow bell peppers that were very crunchy and juicy. Germination was good and it was not bothered by disease. The only issue is that being a bell pepper, productivity was not high. Looks like we will have about 3-4 peppers per plant. They were still producing, however, in September.

Good germination but once outdoors something ate the growing points so peppers grew sideshows and sprawled. Beautiful light green, thin walled peppers but unfortunately never ripened.

Easily the best bell pepper variety I have ever grown. This is the standard to which all others will be measured from now on. Huge yields, tough as nails (disease/insect resistance), good vigor, taste was on-par or better than other classic varieties and fruit were thick walled and highly useful for salsa (my primary usage for peppers). Fruits are not a true yellow though, more like a light green apple, but will turn more yellow if you let them ripen on the plant for a couple weeks.

Hamilton, Tennessee, United States

Very beautiful. Good sweet pepper taste. Easy to grow. Average to better productivity. Grown in container in 1/2 day sun. Started with seedling, not seeds. I will grow more this year in different conditions, larger containers or raised beds. It did not wimp out too early with cooler/cold weather with some protection, but did not set more peppers. Did I say really beautiful? It is.
