Thick-walled peppers - description

A characteristic feature of thick-walled peppers is that they practically do not differ from other varieties of this culture. They are also early ripe and mid-ripening, fruitful and not very. Some people like heat and moisture and in a temperate climate differentiate into greenhouse varieties, there are those that can be grown in open ground and in greenhouse conditions. The main difference between the varieties is that they belong to hybrids, the seeds of which must be purchased annually, or to the original varieties from which the seed material can be collected independently.

Fact! Over the past three decades, breeders have bred several hundred different varieties of only fruit nightshade crops, which are commonly used as sweet or bell peppers, although even in Bulgaria they do not have such a name.

Not only hybrids appeared with improved indicators of productivity or thick-walled, but also plants of uncharacteristic flowers. Often you can see black, purple chocolate and other peppers.

Vegetable growers with experience recommend, when buying seeds, to carefully study the characteristics of the variety that are indicated by the agricultural firm or originator. Typically, the output indicates the millimeter wall thickness of the seed that is being offered for dilution.

In the description of the variety, the emphasis is not on plant seeds, which continue the life of an annual crop, but on the thickness of the fruit walls and the yield that can be obtained from the bush. But the reviews of those who are engaged in the cultivation of sweet bell pepper invariably include the resulting wall thickness.

Grade characteristics

Thick-walled are varieties in which the thickness of the pericarp begins from 7-8 mm. This is the only category that is highlighted in order to distinguish peppers by characteristic. Everything else they have can be completely different, starting from hybridity or originality, and ending with color. Most peppers with a significant thickness of pericarp are hybrids.

The main purpose of their selection was to improve certain indicators, including disease resistance, the ability to give a good crop or show excellent taste. It is believed that standard hybrid varieties, especially those grown in a greenhouse, are inferior in taste and aroma to simple peppers grown in natural conditions.

For reference! This is not entirely true, because modern hybrid peppers, bred by hybridization, are often not only good and unique in taste, but also contain more vitamins, juicier and flesher than simple, unencumbered varieties and, moreover, give much more high yield.

The properties

Thick-walled peppers can be any color. The most common peppers are:

reds;
yellow;
orange
tangerine;
Chocolate
purple
brown;
white
lilac and even two-and three-color.

They can ripen at different times, grown only in a greenhouse or under a film or only in open ground, in the south and even in areas of problem farming. Such varieties are usually considered suitable for cooking any dishes, cold and hot snacks. At the same time, large-fruited ones prefer to preserve in cut form and as part of delicious canned vegetables, and those smaller ones are salted or fermented in barrels.

Advice! The optimal variety for cultivation should be selected not only for climatic or regional reasons, but also for color preferences, which usually indicate the predominance of some useful components. Important in this regard is the determination of the optimal time for breeding, and the height and leafiness of the bush, which affect the time spent, requiring special garters or distribution to trellises.
