About
Extra-large red bell, up to 7 in long. Thick-walled and very sweet when red.
Growing
Stake heavily — fruit weight will topple plants. Calcium for blossom-end rot prevention.
Harvest
Pick at 6–7 in long when firm, glossy, and heavy with thick, four-lobed walls. Harvest deep green for crisp flavor, or let it ripen to red for sweetness. Choose blocky, well-filled fruit with no soft or sunken spots; cut with shears to avoid damaging the stems.
