Estilo F1

Season Overview

Description

Very tasty and enormously high-yielding pointed bell pepper in the Dolce Italiano type. Although Estilo ripens early from green to an intense red, the fruits taste sweet and juicy even when green, which is unusual for a sweet bell pepper. The fruits are around 20 cm long, slender and slightly curved, which also gives the bell pepper a special look. Very good results when grown in 15-liter planters on the patio.

Growing tips

You should grow peppers in nutrient-rich soil in a sunny location. For a rich harvest, the first flower (terminal bud/'king flower') should be broken off. This promotes flower and fruit formation on the side shoots. Pull the plants with 3-4 shoots and remove the remaining shoots. In Central Europe, cultivation is usually annual, but the highest yield is only achieved 2-3 years after planting. To achieve this, the plant must be overwintered indoors. The fruit is harvested from July to September, depending on the variety and weather conditions.
