    The fruits are thick walled and crunchy with excellent flavor. They eventually turn red, but are actually probably better for eating when green.

    65 days; NG. Thick-walled bell pepper produced early in the season. Testers said it was big (one reported a pepper 1 foot in circumference), meaty, and prolific. The only negative aspect was that it stopped producing early.

    Big, blocky, thick walled peppers are great for stuffing. Were a bit slow to finish for me compared to other varieties here in New Hampshire.
