I attempted this pepper in '06, hoping for a replacement for thai dragons, and it was a failure - lowest yield of any variety of the season despite very large plants. Even if my growing season had been longer it wouldn't have made much difference, as there were not that many peppers or flowers at the end. They didn't start flowering until late, and the first red one was not until the middle of august. Not bad tasting, medium heat for a thai pepper, and the greens were very dark, giving good color to a green curry. The yield was the main problem for me.
