What varieties of pepper are suitable for growing in Siberia

Pepper is a heat-loving southern culture. Therefore, until recently, it was problematic to get a harvest in the Siberian climate. But selection does not stand still - now there are many zoned varieties and hybrids. It is precisely the adaptation to the nuances of the climate that is the determining criterion for selection. Further, you can take into account the size, color, shape of the fruit, yield, and so on.

Varieties of different ripening periods for the Siberian climate

The harsh continental climate with its severity and variability turns Siberia into a “zone of risky agriculture”. Zoned pepper varieties are mainly characterized by resistance to temperature drop and temperature fluctuations.

Summer in Siberia is short and not always warm, therefore medium-late and late varieties of pepper are not suitable for planting in open ground. The ultra-early ones are those that bring the harvest 80–90 days after planting the seeds in the ground, the early ones - after 90–110. It takes 110-125 days for a mid-season pepper to ripen.

Ultra-early varieties popular with gardeners:

• Merchant. Standard bush, up to 75–85 cm in height, semi-spreading. The fruit is elongated-cylindrical, red, with 2-3 nests. The walls are 4–5 mm thick, weight - 62–90 g (individual specimens up to 130 g). The taste is not bad, the aroma is moderately pronounced. Productivity in open beds is 1.3–2.2 kg / m².

  

  Pepper of the Kupets variety is a small, neat fruit with a good taste

• Big Mama. Semi-spreading bush, about 70 cm high. Fruit is cylindrical, glossy, bright orange, with 3-4 nests. Wall thickness up to 7 mm, weight - about 120 g. The taste is officially recognized as "excellent". Productivity in greenhouses is 6.8–7.2 kg / m².

  

  Big Mama pepper is part of a whole “family”, which also includes Big Papa and Big Boy varieties.

• Orange. Compact bushes up to 40 cm high. Fruits are cylindrical, up to 10 cm long and weighing up to 40 g. Walls up to 5 mm thick. The skin is glossy orange, thin. Productivity is high - up to 5–7 kg / m² in open field. The variety is prized mainly for its wonderful taste and aroma.

  

  Pepper Orange compensates for the small size of the fruit with good yields and outstanding taste.

From the early varieties in Siberia are planted:

• Kolobok. The bush is very compact, it grows up to a maximum of 25-30 cm. The fruits are dark scarlet, round, with weak ribs. Wall thickness - 6.3-10.1 mm, weight - 102-167 g. Outdoor yield - 2.3-4.8 kg / m². It resists well against anthracnose, even better against apical rot and mosaic virus, but it often becomes infected with fusarium.

  

  Kolobok pepper is easy to identify by its unusual, almost round fruit

• Topolin. The bush is compact, standard, 50–65 cm high. Fruits are conical, with 2–3 nests, bright red, the stalk is not depressed. The weight is small - 44–88 g, as is the thickness of the walls (4–5.5 mm). The taste is good. Pepper rarely suffers from bacterial wilting, top rot, black mold.

  

  Topolin pepper is valued for its high resistance to some typical crop diseases

• An early miracle of F1. Mid-early hybrid. The height of the bush is 70–90 cm, but the plant is quite compact. Fruits are elongated prismatic, glossy, with 3-4 nests, colored in different shades of scarlet. The walls are 8-10 mm thick, weight is about 250 g. The taste is not outstanding, but this is compensated by the yield - up to 14 kg / m² in greenhouses.

  

  Pepper Early Miracle F1 compensates for the rather mediocre taste with high yields

Zoned mid-season varieties:

• Pearl of Siberia. The bush is compact, 65–75 cm high. Fruits are bright red, cuboid, with 3-4 nests. Average weight - 200 g, wall thickness - 7–8 mm. The taste is good. Productivity with a shelter is 4.8–5.3 kg / m².

  

  Pepper Pearl of Siberia fully justifies the loud name

• Swallow. The variety stands out for its amicable fruiting. The bush is semi-spreading, reaches a height of 48-60 cm. Fruits are round-conical, almost without ribs, red. The weight is small (69–84 g), but the walls are quite thick (6–7 mm). Resists bacterial wilting well. Outdoor yield - 2.5–4.7 kg / m².

  

  The Swallow pepper is thick for its size

• Bagheera. The bush is up to 70 cm high, it can be compact and semi-spreading. Fruits are glossy, dense red, with 4 or more nests. The walls are 6 mm thick, the average weight is 132 g. The taste is good. Productivity without shelter - 1.2 kg / m².

  

  Bagheera pepper is a rather mediocre yield, partly offset by the taste of the fruit

  The yield of Veselinka pepper dramatically increases when planted indoors

Green peppers are essentially red or yellow peppers that can be eaten when they are technically mature:

• Dakar F1. French mid-season hybrid. The bush is semi-spreading, the average height is 50 cm. The fruits turn yellow as they ripen. Cuboid pepper, large (210 g), thick-walled (8 mm), with 4 or more nests. The taste is excellent, the yield in the greenhouse is from 4.5 kg / m². There is "built-in" immunity to the tobacco mosaic virus.

  Viking pepper has almost all the fruits of a presentation

Greenhouse pepper

Planting in a greenhouse allows you to neutralize the vagaries of the weather, therefore, in Siberia, this method of cultivating pepper is popular:

• Korenovsky. Mid-season. Semi-spreading bush, 55–65 cm high. Fruits in the form of a truncated cone or prism, ribbed, of different sizes (69–160 g), red. Wall thickness - 4.6–4.7 mm. Productivity - 1.9-4.2 kg / m². Often infected with verticillium.

  

  When growing peppers of the Korenovsky variety, it is necessary to pay special attention to the prevention of verticillosis

Best hybrids

The relative disadvantage of hybrids is the inability to use seeds from self-grown fruits for planting next year:

• Gemini F1. Dutch mid-early hybrid. The bush is about 60 cm high, semi-spreading. Fruits are cylindrical, bright yellow, with 2-3 nests, the weight varies greatly (88-206 g). Wall thickness 5.5–7 mm. Productivity - 2.5-2.8 kg / m².

  

  Gemini F1 peppers vary greatly in size

• Cockatoo F1. Mid-season. The bush is semi-spreading, high, in shape somewhat similar to a bowl. Fruits are trunk-shaped, with strongly pronounced ribs, glossy-scarlet, the number of nests is 3-4. The average weight of pepper is 200 g, the walls are rather thin (6 mm). The taste is excellent, the yield is high (8-10 kg / m²).

  

  Pepper varieties Kakadu F1 are very easy to identify in the garden thanks to the original shape of the fruit

• Orange Wonder F1. Early ripe. The bush is compact but tall. Fruits are cuboid, of various shades of orange, with 3-4 nests. Large pepper (210 g), thick-walled (8-10 mm). Productivity when planting in a greenhouse is 10 kg / m².

  

  Pepper variety Orange Miracle F1 stands out for the height of the bush - this is perhaps its only relative disadvantage
