| We've grown this in coastal Los Angeles three years in a row. One pepper suffices to add some, but not too much, heat to a stir fry for two people who like heat but can't deal with a lot of heat. Produces earlier than most peppers begun at the same time, and fruit is uniform and attractive, growing straight up until it approaches maturity. |

| Out west, these don't really work well for me. A Warm to hot pepper, these don't have the rich flavor I like in a pepper of this type. I had a lot of peppers with a soft brown area near the tip. They don't seem to like the hot summers as well as some other varieties, with quality dropping markedly.

| I always have good luck with these. They don't need a lot of attention once they are in the ground. Very prolific. |

| Along with Cherry Bomb, this is reliable and prolific. Have seen over 30 fruits on one plant. Good for pickling as you can use the whole range of colors: light yellow, orange, red. Also good for adding heat to stir fries and sauces. We grow ten or more hot peppers each year, but this is a must grow. |
