Chris11 Challenge - July Update1 - Sweet Peppers
Now that the plants (and pods) are nearing full size and pods starting to change colour should get more clues to what they are.
I had a couple of pods on the Enjoya plant isolated but they all fell off last week. The pepper in the picture was damaged (think it was condensation damage) so was removed. It does confirm that the peppers will be yellow.
On the subject or pods falling off (which I thinks is down to fruit loading) would reducing the fruit on one plant encourage it to go back into flower? (See Blog on pod drop)
Whilst looking for the white and purple flower for 7A I stumbles across Violet Sparkle. Whilst it may not be name on 12A quite similar.
More Pointed Peppers
Plants 9A, 1A, 1B, 5A pods are similar, but the plants 1A & 1B have a flat top to them where as 9A and 5A are more bushy. Think it is a case of waiting out until the pods change colour before meaningful guesses are possible. One is just turning to Red, so could be a Palermo. but that is just a wild guess
