The sweet pepper variety Gepard is a large-fruited, mid-early maturing variety with a vegetative period of 95-105 days, primarily intended for cultivation in protected environments such as greenhouses and polytunnels. The plant is medium-height, reaching 70-80 cm, compact, but requires staking and stem pruning for optimal growth. The variety is highly adaptable to climatic conditions and resistant to common diseases, including Fusarium wilt and tobacco mosaic virus, ensuring stable yields and reducing cultivation risks.
The Gepard pepper fruits are large, cube-shaped with 3-4 chambers, slightly ribbed, with a wall thickness of 7-9 mm. Average fruit weight ranges from 200 to 300 grams, length reaching 11-12 cm, and diameter 9-10 cm. During technical maturity, fruits are dark green, turning to a rich red upon biological ripeness. The flesh is juicy, succulent, firm, with a distinct sweet taste and pleasant aroma. Thanks to its dense skin, the fruits withstand transportation and long-term storage, preserving their flavor and commercial qualities.
The Gepard variety is versatile in use: fruits are suitable for fresh consumption, as well as excellent for canning and freezing. High vitamin C content makes it beneficial for health. Cultivation does not require complex care, but the plant positively responds to regular watering and feeding, which increases yield to 2.5-3.5 kg per square meter. The Gepard pepper will be an excellent choice for those who value the combination of high quality, flavor, and resistance to adverse conditions.
