Sweet pepper variety 'Golden Barrel' is a medium-early, large-fruited variety with a vegetation period of 110 to 123 days. The plant is medium-height, compact, reaching 50–70 cm, with a sturdy bush and determinate growth habit. Leaves are of medium size, branches are semi-spreading, bearing abundant, neatly hanging fruits.
Fruits are cube-shaped, large and fleshy, with smooth, glossy surface. Their weight ranges from 180 to 220 grams, wall thickness is 5–10 mm, ensuring juiciness and flesh density. Fruit color changes from green in the immature stage to bright yellow at biological maturity. Flesh has a sweet taste, high aromaticity, and elevated vitamin C content, making this variety especially valuable for fresh consumption.
'Golden Barrel' variety is characterized by high yield — with proper agronomy, one square meter can produce 3 to 4.6 kg of marketable fruits. It is resistant to temperature fluctuations and low susceptibility to diseases, ensuring stable and prolonged fruiting. The pepper is versatile in use: it is used fresh, for canning, freezing, and processing. The variety is grown as seedlings, both in open ground and under plastic covers.
