Sweet pepper is rightfully considered a high-vitamin vegetable. One pepper contains more vitamin C than a lemon, and more vitamins of group A than carrots. Many gardeners grow bell pepper for its external beauty and unique taste. For gourmets and adherents of a harmonious combination of useful properties, aesthetics and taste, the Red Bison variety was bred.

Secrets of cultivation and care
The variety of bell pepper “Bizon Red” is suitable for growing in open ground conditions of the south-climatic region. In the central and more northern latitudes, vegetable cultivation is possible only in a greenhouse.
Adding sawdust and peat will help make the ground softer. With an increased sand content, the soil should be well fertilized and a little black soil added.
As they grow, pepper bushes may need a garter. It should not be neglected, otherwise you risk not only getting a twisted bush, but also losing it and the fruits once and for all.
The maturation of the variety occurs evenly. The color of the fruit changes from green to dark red. Due to the gradual ripening, vegetables can be harvested throughout the summer period.
Caring for a plant during growth is not difficult at all. To achieve a good result, you should follow some simple rules:
- water the plants regularly and abundantly;
- monitor the condition of the bushes and timely remove foliage from the bottom of the stem;
- remember that properly selected fertilizers are half the success;
- always tie up the plant in time as it grows and the size of the fruit increases.
As can be seen from the description, the Bison Red pepper variety is unpretentious. Thanks to fairly simple growing rules, the reproduction of a vegetable rich in vitamins will not be difficult even for a beginner amateur vegetable grower.
