- Fruit Weight: Typically ranges between 100 and 120 grams per pepper.
- Yield Potential: Capable of producing up to 6 tonnes per acre under optimal management.
- Growth Habit: Vigorous, erect, and compact plant frame that provides good foliage cover to protect fruit from sunburn.
Flavor Profile: Completely sweet with zero heat (0 Scoville Heat Units). While harvested green, they will ripen to a deep crimson red and become even sweeter if left on the plant
Essential Growing TipsSunlight:
- Requires full sun exposure, meaning at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily.

- Support: Because the blocky fruits get heavy, staking the plants or using compact cages is highly recommended to keep the branches from snapping.
