It is not the same variety as Keystone Resistant III, however. I searched for a few hours to determine the true name of this fine bell pepper. It seems that everyone is calling it every combination of names, and many vendors are not making a distinction between the two varieties, Keystone Resistant Giant and Keystone Resistant III. Often the names are simply combined into \u201cKeystone Resistant Giant 3.\u201d<br \/>\nThe breeder and vendor of Keystone Resistant Giant was the Corneli Seed Company, since at least 1954. This open-pollinated bell comes from a cross between California Wonder and a Hungarian cultivar. The \u201cResistant\u201d part of the name refers to the plant\u2019s resistance to the Tobacco Mosaic Virus.<br \/>\nKeystone Resistant Giant makes a large plant to support its large fruits. Growing bell peppers of any size and wall-thickness is always a challenge in my less-than-fertile soil. Yet I was impressed by the size and quality of the fruits of this variety. Eventually, the deep green flesh gives way to a strong-tasting red fruit. NOTE: My packet labels read simply &#8220;Keystone Giant,&#8221; as I discovered the cultivar&#8217;s true name after later research. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":4554,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[67,12],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-4553","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-sweet","product_cat-bunny-hop-seeds","first","instock","sale","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/4553","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4554"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4553"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=4553"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=4553"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heritageseedmarket.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=4553"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
