Overview
Super Heavyweight (24247) is a Seminis / Petoseed F1 from Jim Waltrip aimed at home gardens: a short, half-long bell with a big diameter and fruit around 9 ounces, thick walled, firm, green ripening to yellow. It lacks anthocyanin so there is no purple blush, and it resists potato virus Y and tobacco mosaic virus. Comparable to Matador. Big enough that one pepper makes a generous stuffed serving.
