This is a long season cultivar, but it produces well here. It is very attractive, looks similar to a Habarnero, but less heat and a slighly different flavor. It was my first try at growing a C. baccatum and I am well pleased with it. A pretty plant as well as a pretty pepper it would work well in the south as an ornamental.
