Yellow pointed peppers.

The yellow conical sweet pepper

Yellow pointed pepper is the yellow-ripening conical sweet pepper, a distinct product from both the yellow block pepper and the red pointed type. It sells into the same sweetness and cooking-use segment as red pointed, usually alongside it in mixed packs.

What the crop needs

The plant is grown on substrate and carried on a high wire, on a long or seasonal cycle. Its structural demands follow the pointed form rather than the block: lighter individual fruit, different stem architecture, and spacing set for the product rather than borrowed from the bell crop.

What the greenhouse has to do

Yellow pointed is grown alongside red pointed more often than on its own, and that is the design case. Two colours in one house means two ripening schedules under one climate, so the compartment layout and the pack plan do the separating rather than the setpoints.

Underneath, it is a conical pepper crop. Plant spacing and support follow the fruit the plant carries rather than a block-pepper layout, heating and screening are set against the colouring period, and irrigation carries the peak. Colour uniformity inside a mixed pack is what the buyer inspects, which puts the weight on evenness across the floor.

DutchGreenhouses® designs the structure, climate, screening and irrigation around the pointed pepper crop and its cultivar, so both colours reach the pack on schedule. Get in touch to discuss a pointed pepper project.
