It produces large, square, four-lobed fruit about 4 1/2 by 5 inches (130 x 110 mm) with thick flesh, dark glossy green and ripening to red in roughly 74 days. The plants grow upright, which lets you set them closer together than sprawling types. It resists tobacco mosaic virus and was tested in the Northeast, in New Jersey, New York and Maine, so it is a dependable choice for cooler bell pepper regions.
