Overview
Orange Bell is a sweet bell pepper with unusually heavy walls. The blocky fruit measures about 3 1/2 by 4 inches, mostly with four lobes, and is very thick-fleshed. You can pick it green at around 60 days, or wait until about 90 days for it to turn a full orange, when the sweetness is at its peak. Because the color stage takes a month longer, plan on a warm, long season if orange fruit is the goal.
