Origin
Flavorburst is a hybrid bell pepper that goes from light apple green to golden yellow, and is sold as one of the earlier yellow bells. Tomato Growers Supply gives the fruit as 5 inches long and 4 inches wide and the timing as 65 days to a green pepper and 85 days to a yellow one, without saying whether that counts from sowing or from transplant; Pepper Joe's describes 4-inch fruit with three or four lobes on short, strong plants. Neither shop names the breeder or gives a plant height, so both are left open here rather than filled in.
