| Hands down the best eating pepper. Just delicious. Production and earliness are just ok. |

| I grew these along with some marconi\'s for the first time in 2011. The two were grown under the same conditions with nearly identical results. I like both peppers better than any of the Bell type peppers I have grown. when roasted their flavors are rich and very complex. I will be growing both of them again. |

| I haven't been letting mine ripen to red, and just use them once when the flesh feels right and I can hear the seeds inside when I shake them.
These are my fastest growing pepper plants (I'm not growing bell peppers this year), but are also more prone to insect damage than my others. However, production is early and very high--especially for such a huge pepper. The taste is great, perfect for salads and pickling. Fruit grow an inch and a half a day for me, even when there are several on the plant, and production has been consistent. Definitely recommended! |

| Large Italian-frying type pepper. Wonderful sweet flavor when ripe (red). Grown both in Atlanta and in Albuquerque. Plants in Atlanta would get to 5' tall, sometimes did not set fruit during summer heat. |

| Produces huge and flawless peppers for me year after year. Yield is down somewhat this year (2005) as we've had 40+ days of 90 degree or better heat, causing some blossom drop. A couple of these giants never fails to impress my visitors to the garden. |
