Plants were easy to grow and disease resistant. Production was acceptable with about a 15-20% turning bright gold in my short season climate. The flavor was good with plenty of crunch from the thick walls.

I planted this variety for the first time in 2007. While I usually have difficulty growing peppers in my garden, these performed wonderfully. The plants were loaded with fruit. They seemed to be more resistant to disease than were other varieties that I tried and the seemed to be more tolerant of the mid-summer heat. Also, May and June plantings made for a great Fall crop. I plan on another test of this variety in 2008.
