Default identifying pepper plants by leaves??

I buy my pepper plants as seedlings from the nursery. I was there today and
can tell you that they had some plants that were way taller than the others.
They were sweet red peppers. When the seedlings are about the same size it
is hard to tell the difference appart from Habaneros which tend to have
broader leaves and a more rounded bush like appearance which is how they
mature. Perhaps you could take a trip to your local nursery. Here in NJ I am
lucky enough to have nurseries that supply 10 or more sweet and hot pepper
varieties. If you are into hot peppers try Thai Dragons they are hot but not
like habaneros.

I stopped at a nursery today with many varieties of peppers. The bells
were the biggest plants and had the widest leaves. However I spotted a
few cayennes that had grown large and their leaves were clearly
widening as they got larger.

I guess I'll roll the dice and assume it is a bell.
