4. Training Instructions: No pruning is required. It is recommended just to tie the longest stems and to remove the bottom leaves as they grow so that the bush could get a good airflow and could not become too branchy.

6. Color: Purely green with a dark green spot near the stem end at the mature-green stage. The fruits turn red when fully ripe.
