Bogyiszloi

Season Overview

Description

Bogyiszlói (or Javított Bogyiszlói, improved variety) is a medium-thick-walled, early-maturing sweet bell pepper variety from Hungary with medium pungency. Fast-growing, spreading bush approx. 50 cm high. The fruit is light yellow-white, regularly conical, pleasantly hot and ripens to red. Fruit weight of 50-55 g and excellent taste, retains its pungency when cooked. With its thin skin, it is the ideal lecso/lecho bell pepper. Suitable for fresh consumption and pickling. Fast development speed and drought tolerance. Recommended for outdoor cultivation.

Growing tips

Optimum germination temperature: 22-26°C. Suitable for growing in containers and very prolific. Peppers should be grown 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.
