| I can\'t think of a bad thing to say about this pepper. It is now my favorite cooking pepper. Love the salsa verde I can make with it, plus it adds a zing to my chimichanga sauces too. The plant got huge and took over the whole block of six peppers I had it in. We\'ve had a light frost and it is still producing like crazy. |

| Grew in 2007. Plants grew well, no noticable disease problems. Late bloomer and setter, only 2 handfuls of peppers had ripened before frost. At least 15 more handfuls on the plants and it was blooming and setting all the way to frost. |

| Fabulous pepper! One plant will produce hundreds of crisp fleshed yellow peppers that are easy to de-seed that have a citrus-y edge to the taste. They'll brighten up any stir fry or salsa. Hot without being overwhelming, the plants are easy growers and as hardy as I have come to expect all members of C baccatuum to be. |
