75 days. This large, thick walled, juicy, sweet pepper is one of the most popular. 4” green peppers turn bright red.
Heat or pungency of peppers are rated in Scoville Heat Units (SHU- 0 to 300,000). Hot growing conditions, full sun and adequate but not excessive moisture generally promote pungency. Too much water, nitrogen or low temperatures will drain the taste. Fruits ripening at 85º- 95º have more pungency than those maturing at 65º – 70º. The pungency increases tenfold when the fruits are dehydrated.
