| One of our two plants ended up being enormous, shading out the other plants around it. It produced lots of peppers, few of which ripened before the end of September. No disease of insect problems. No particularly distincitive flavor, but did add some sweetness to a bee stew. |

| This is a unique pepper. The shape of the pepper is beautiful and turns from a pale green to orange when fully mature. The peppers are mild with a citrus flavor. The plant took a while to get started but produced well once it got going. |
