| Thick-walled, sweet and juicy... these little Tangerine Pimientos are perfect for stuffing and fresh-eating. The plant produced all summer long, in spite of our high heat and humidity. The production was prolific compared to the other peppers in my garden. It even out-produced the Pizza My Heart Jalapeno peppers. It was quick to germinate and quick to grow. I am going to plant these compact heirloom peppers all-over my garden next year! |

| Like eating candy out of the garden. The plants are pretty small and they refuse to die in the Texas heat. The fruits are fairly small too -- larger than golf ball but smaller than a tennis ball. I go out in the garden with best intentions of sharing the gold treasures on my Tangerine Pimiento plants, but somehow I end up guzzling them all on the spot instead of bringing them in the house.
I don't have enough experience to compare the yield or ease with other sweet peppers. They didn't overwhelm me with mountains of fruit the way a serrano will do, but they kept cranking slowly and steadily. |
