March to June
Very early spicy variety of topepo. The plant is vigorous and well covering. When picked, the peppers are round-flattened, with a diameter of about 9 cm, all of high uniformity. The skin is smooth with slight grooves, green in color that turns red when fully ripe. The flesh of the topepo is very thick and semi-spicy. In the kitchen it is appreciated for fresh consumption, therefore baked, fried, for meat or rice fillings, or for conservations in vinegar in winter .

Nutritional information: Rich in Vitamin A and C

Cultivation: We recommend transplanting in the open field from March to July and in the greenhouse from September to February. The peppers, even if they are erect-bushy, need a small brace to reinforce the main stem. No interventions such as topping or other green pruning are necessary. To have more vigorous and productive plants, topepo pepper can be transplanted in the hottest periods and in sunny positions . The optimal soil must be permeable, deep and fertile (rich in organic matter already decomposed). L ‘ irrigation it can be carried out successfully by means of a drip system or in any case with irrigation methods that do not wet the leaves to avoid the proliferation of fungal diseases.

Transplant distances: between rows 80-100 cm and on the row 40-50 cm
