Sweet pepper Thomas F1 — an early-maturing hybrid, distinguished by strong growth and a robust root system. The plant is compact with well-developed leaves that effectively shield the fruit from overheating. The hybrid is resistant to stressful growing conditions, including low temperatures, and exhibits high immunity to complex diseases of solanaceous crops.

The vegetative period lasts approximately 60-70 days after transplanting seedlings. Thomas F1 forms large, cube-shaped or short-cube-shaped fruits weighing 250-300 grams, measuring 10-12 cm in length and up to 10 cm in diameter. The fruit walls vary in thickness from 8 to 10 mm, ensuring juiciness and flesh density. In technical ripeness, the fruits are light green or cream-colored, while in biological ripeness, they turn deep red. The flesh is sweet with high sugar and beta-carotene content.

The hybrid is suitable for cultivation both in open fields and in plastic greenhouses. The fruits have good transportability and retain their market appearance for up to three months, making them convenient for storage and sale. Pepper Thomas F1 is versatile in application: it can be consumed fresh, used for culinary processing, canning, and freezing. Yield reaches 60-75 tons per hectare at optimal planting density of 40-45 thousand plants per hectare.
