Capsicum 'Exp.'

Good Qualities

Could be harvested before the peppers turned red, as they were a pretty light yellow – we did have a request for them after we had them in arrangements, I used the short stems in wreaths, longer stems in bouquets; Seem to be drought resistant; About 90-95% germination; Easy to propagate from seeding into flats; Nice long stems, uniform fruiting; Shape of pepper was interesting- even at the “yellow” stage; Nice conical – shaped peppers – mostly red at base of plant to creamy yellow/ white at top of plants, very uniform; colored up reasonable early; Nice yellow and red pepper; Good color; Nice red colors- peppers rather large, but okay, not sure what the white color is supposed to be, mine are just red; Nicely spaced nite-lite, great shape and size of red and 2 shades each of orange and yellow; Withstands storms well with minimal support; Uniform nice size fruit, good fruit set, fruit matured pretty uniformly.

Problems

None; Long crop time in Zone 9; These were pretty but too short; Seemingly indeterminate branches; Lower fruit drying while blooms/new fruit forming during 5+ months till maturity; None except how to use, how to sell; Requires a long growing season, I let them grow as long as I thought I could (about mid Sept.) without frost and still none turned red; We were not sure when to pick since it ripens from bottom up – I’d pick earlier next time – some of the plants stalled and did not color all the way to the to; We don’t know what happened but the seed never germinated – old seed? – we’ve NEVER had a problem with peppers not germinating.

Postharvest

No special treatment; Cool water – Chrysal #2

Comments

Great germination and healthy looking plants, bushy plants; We used the peppers on short stems in our pumpkin bouquets-interesting addition to bouquets; I think I still prefer ‘Nippon taka’ – from Johnny’s for bouquets- but want to try this one again; Was fun to use in bouquets, the color of the peppers is yellow (not white), and changes to orange, then red – sometimes the leaves stayed fresh-looking, sometimes they shriveled.
