Hugo is a mid-maturing, blocky green-to-red capsicum. It is highly suited for harvest in Bundaberg and will set under cooler spring conditions, while maintaining a consistent blocky shape. Because it has mid-slow maturity, Hugo can be picked green or red.
- Able to set and maintain a uniform blocky shape in cooler spring conditions
Features
- Green to red capsicum for spring harvest in Bundaberg
- Maintains uniform blocky (10cm x 10cm) fruit shape
Advantages
- Uniform fruit allows for greater efficiency at pack-out
- Keeps fruit shape in cooler conditions where other varieties may become squat in shape
Agronomic Tips
