Planted this pepper this year. Did great--with lots of long, yellow peppers per plant. Tasted mild, juicy, and crunchy. Did well planted in a 5-gallon bucket of compost and peat moss. No disease problems either. I'll plant it again. |

An excellent pepper: sweet & thick-walled, like a bell pepper; but shaped like a bull's horn. Good germination (though it is slow to germinate). Good production on a BIG plant. The large fruits may require some extra support.

Grown for the first time in 2005. Lowest germination of any vegetable I started, and lowest yield of all my peppers (10+ varieties). Plant and fruit were disease free. The single plant in my garden produced 3 peppers, which matured very late (end of September or early October). But the taste!!!!!!!!!!!! They were sooooo sweet and tasteful, that I'll try again. This may be one that you have to learn the ways of -- and it may be worth it. (It's red cousin had better germination and yield and is also delicious). Grown in MO. |
