RED TAIL

Pepper variety "Red Tail" is an early-maturing, high-yielding hybrid, characterized by large, conical fruits with a smooth surface. In technical ripeness, the fruits are green, but they turn bright orange upon biological ripeness. The weight of one fruit reaches 100-150 grams, and the wall thickness is 6-8 mm, ensuring juiciness and flesh density. This variety is renowned for its sweet, aromatic flavor and high beta-carotene content, making it both nutritious and delicious when eaten fresh.

The plant is semi-determinate, medium-height, reaching up to 90-100 cm. The variety is resistant to diseases and sudden temperature fluctuations, allowing cultivation in various climatic conditions. Yield can reach up to 7 kg per square meter, and with good care, up to 10 kg/m2. The period from germination to technical ripeness is about 110 days, allowing the first harvest as early as mid-summer.

For cultivation, it is recommended to sow seedlings in early March, followed by transplanting at the stage of one true leaf. Transplanting to the permanent location should be done with 70-day-old seedlings at a spacing of 50x35 cm. The variety is suitable for spring-summer rotation, as well as in heated and unheated plastic greenhouses and covers. Tall plants can be trained on a trellis with two stems, while low-growing plants can be grown in a bush form without staking.
