| After years of problems trying to grow peppers in upstate NY I finally found Ace to be a good, reliable pepper. True the fruit is small, but quite tasty, and the harvest goes on forever - last season well into November. I've purchased Ace plants from a local greenhouse for the past 3 or 4 years. |

| I grew this pepper with the hopes of getting a lot of red peppers for my short growing season. The plants stayed fairly small and set a fair number of peppers on each plant. Maybe about a quarter turned red. The flavor was mild and the walls were fairly thin - not very crunchy. |
