| Discovered this variety a few years ago when looking for seeds with Bact. spot resistance. Often, other peppers are troublesome for me, but these have never been so when grown side by side. I usually get plenty of peppers, however, never near the 35 per plant that Parks Seed Co. claims in its catalog! Taste is mild. I've never let them get to the red stage to see how sweet they get. Walls seems thin to me. I personally am not a huge fan of banana type peppers, but I do grow this one because of its disease resistance. |

| I love sweet banana peppers, but they never yielded very much for us till this one came along. Very good flavor and high yields. Growing again this year. Nice size peppers also -7 to 8 inches by about 2 inches wide! Got our seed from Tomato Growers Supply |
