Any positive feedback about Bill’s Striped sweet pepper?
It is believed to be Giant Marconi sport.
Yes, it is a very good pepper, I trialed it a couple of years ago, and it seemed to be stable then, with stripes of varying intensity on most peppers.

Found Enjoya seeds on Ebay. Says they don't ship to the US. But then it says:
CANNOT SHIP TO FOLLOWING STATES IN USA - FLORIDA, GEORGIA, ALABAMA, TENNESSEE, AND MISSISSIPPI (or any other state with a zip code beginning with a 3)

(https://www.ebay.com/itm/Bell-Pepper...s/312542813844)
I am really surprised to see seeds of Enjoya, as it was understood that the commercial plants producing striped fruit were only propagated by cuttings. Many of us grew out seeds from store fruit, and no one ever got anything but plain yellow bells from seeds. I am tempted to order some to see if this grower was successful in finding stripes, but I have my doubts. I hope they are not just selling seeds harvested from purchased fruit.
