Ka’ala Sweet Pepper

Grown by Edmund Frost – 90 days – Capsicum annuum

Small sweet red bell peppers, bred in Hawaii for tolerance to bacterial wilt and root knot nematodes. We noticed Ka’ala because it was the only pepper in our 2018 trial that didn’t get bacterial leaf spot, and they looked and tasted great. Peppers are small (2 inches across at the top), sweet and productive in hot summer weather (they are slower to mature than most sweet peppers so we don’t recommend them for the north). Also good green. 130 seeds/gram.
