Description

The improved classic—uniform, productive, and disease-tough. California Wonder 300 TMR is a refined selection of the famous bell, bred for dependable sets, blockier 3–4-lobed fruit, and TMV resistance (TMR)—all with zero heat (0 SHU) and true bell sweetness. Harvest green for crisp, grassy-sweet flavor or let pods finish deep red for maximum sugar and vitamin C.

Plants are sturdy and compact, typically 18–24 inches tall with a tidy, upright habit suited to beds or large containers. Dark foliage shelters thick-walled bells about 3–4 inches across, with smooth shoulders and a uniform blocky shape that holds up beautifully when stuffed or roasted. The improved line offers reliable fruit set across a range of conditions.

In the kitchen, Cal Wonder 300 TMR does it all: fresh for salads and crudités, stuffed (walls stay firm), roasted or grilled for sandwiches and pastas, and diced for freezing without turning watery. After blistering, skins peel cleanly for jars of marinated peppers; red-stage fruit bring full, sweet bell flavor.

Selected for uniformity, yield, and disease resistance, California Wonder 300 TMR makes bell success straightforward for home gardeners and market growers alike. Provide full sun, steady moisture, and moderate feeding for continuous sets; harvest green for volume or let clusters color for peak sweetness and plate appeal.
