I got a Big Bertha bell pepper seedling at the hardware store. It was the only bell they had. It didn't say if it was a hybrid or not but I think Big Bertha peppers are hybrids. If it is a hybrid how untrue to type will the seeds from it really be? As long as it ends up looking like some type of bell pepper of at least average bell pepper size I really don't care. Anyone know what the parent peppers are? I am assuming they were both bell peppers. Anybody planted a seed from a Big Bertha before? Are they just as fertile as any other pepper assuming you don't care much about the exact phenotype?
