Description
Big Bertha is a jumbo bell pepper hybrid that produces some of the largest sweet peppers you'll ever see — elongated pods up to 10 inches long with thick, sweet walls. Ripening from green to a brilliant red, these impressive peppers are resistant to Tobacco Mosaic Virus.
Perfect for stuffing (one pepper serves a generous portion), grilling, roasting, and fresh eating. The elongated shape and massive size make Big Bertha a show-stopper at farmers markets and on the dinner plate.
