| Have tried growing this a few times, trying again this year. Hard to get to germinate, only 4 of 12 seeds came up. Also hard to get it to ripen in a short Wisconsin season. The two other years I grew it the first year I had small green peppers but the frost was too early for them to mature. The second year I did get 3 red peppers. Started them earlier this year and hoping for a long season. The shape of the fruit is quite unique, and gives them their name. They do have a good flavor, and there is one company in the US that commercially grows them and makes a spice mix from the dried peppers. |

| This cultivar grows well here and is a decnt producer. It is relatively hot, but more of a novelty than a useful seasoning pepper. |
