Sweet Pepper Chinese Giant - 1 Pkt. (100 seeds)

"80 days. Burpee introduced this first of the truly giant bells in 1900. It was twice as big as the largest bell pepper of its day. Plants are a compact 24"" tall. Fruits are usually 4"" by 4"", but Mr. Burpee pointed out that if you thin the fruits, they can grow 5"" across and 6"" long. Truly remarkable then, and now. Heirloom."

Large fruits!, August 17, 2007
Submitted by MeRL

"The description was correct -- I got large fruits even though I was forced to grow them in window boxes. I imagine that if I had been able to put them in the ground, they would have been larger and the yield would have been better. However, even with my limitations (and being a first-time gardener), the fruits were still more than twice as big as the (unknown) variety my mom has been growing for years.
The yields were acceptable. Each plant has produced 2 to 3 fruits of decent size, and the season is not over yet. I did have a bit of problem with blossom drop.
This is not a sweet pepper. The flavor is not what I was hoping for -- although that could be because of our drought this year. They were mild flavored, with a slightly tart/bitter aftertaste. Since we were not planning on eating them raw, this was not a big deal."
