| Short and compact plant that grew quickly although the light green leaves showed much leaf curl. Fairly prolific, the fruits started out yellow and turned bright orange with maturity. If you like the flavor of habanero peppers, but don\\\'t desire the heat this would be a pepper to try. |

| Plants grew well and produced a lot of fruit, which did not ripen until September. Anthracnose infected the plants and made holes in the peppers; some got mushy. |

| Peppers grew well and ripened decently towards the end of the season. The very attractive and plentiful fruit were crunchy but not as sweet and fruity as I was expecting. Still they were nice enough that I would probably grow again. |

| Really liked these. They took a while to ripen and not all of them did but I really liked the citrusy notes. I like that they\'re thin-walled, good crunch. Would grow again. |

| The first word that comes to mind: abundant. Wow, lots and lots of peppers. Very few of them turned orange, even at the end of the season. These small, pale green to lime colored peppers are sweet and tasty. |

| Seeds started indoors April on heat mat. Took 3 weeks to germinate. After checking growing instruction on Fruition Seeds Website, heat mat and air temp may have been too low. Seedling were not large enough to transplant until end of June. Plants never grew more than one foot tall, no flowers produced. Planted in same bed as summer squash which shaded pepper plant which probably caused poor growth and no flowers. |

| Transplanted 5/19. Doing well. 8/14: Harvested few. 8/24: Not yet harvest-ready. This is not our final evaluation. Total harvest as of 9/14: 1/2 lb. Taste is too mild. Total harvest: 3/4 lb. Foliage developed, but fruit never fully matured. Season too long; peppers never turned red. Peppers still not ready to harvest in late October. |
