Peppers didn\'t really ripen on the plant, a few ripened after being harvested late in the season. Nice flavor but might have been better if ripened on plant. |

Unique pepper shape. Good flavor, not too hot. More of an orange coloration at maturity than fiery red. Pepper was slow to start, lots of production late in the season up to point of frost. |

Plants grew well and were the first of the 4 we grew to have mature fruits, although many were not ripe by the end of September. The peppers had some mild heat and were flavorful. Their crisp and crunchy texture made them useful for salads. |

Transplanted seedlings in early June. Peppers began forming in mid-August. Peppers still green in mid-Sept but were tasty with just a hint of heat. |

I grew this in a pot on the deck. It produced very well and the peppers are very pretty. I just didn\\\'t like the taste (which is a personal thing). It was as though it did not know if it was a hot pepper or a sweet pepper. |

This is a chinense pepper, with a great habanero flavor, and so llittle heat almost anybody could eat it! Good production, with 30-40 peppers on about 2 ft. plants. The only drawback for me was the long season, as they did not ripen until late Aug/early Sept. |
