California Wonder is a popular, high-yielding open-pollinated bell pepper (Capsicum) variety known for its crisp, thick-walled, blocky green fruit that matures to a bright red.
It takes about 70-75 days to mature from transplant.
Guidelines:
Spacing: Transplant seedlings at 60 × 45 cm.
Seed Rate: You will need approximately 125 grams of seed per acre.
Yield Potential: With good practices, you can expect an average yield of 6 - 12 tons per acre.
Nutrient Management: Since bell peppers require high potassium during the fruiting and flowering stage.
Advantages:
Culinary Versatility: Thick, crisp walls make them ideal for stuffing, salads, stir-fries, and roasting.
Nutritional Value: Excellent source of Vitamins A and C. The fruit gets sweeter and gains more Vitamin C as it ripens from green to red.
Strong Disease Resistance: Highly resistant to the Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV).
High Yield & Early Harvest: Produces large fruits (averaging 150+ grams) and often matures in just 75 to 90 days after transplanting.
Dual-Color Harvest: Can be harvested green (mild flavor) or left on the plant to ripen to a vibrant red (sweet flavor).
