Good Qualities
Nice clusters of fruit, slow to color, very uniform height; Tall plants, interesting fruit shape; This would seem to have so much potential but…; Customers loved them mixed in bouquets; Multiple peppers in clusters, nice size/shape of peppers; For me this pepper had dark foliage and the pepper started out black before turning red, the round shape was interesting; Nice addition to bouquets and arrangements; We picked when the pepper was black, our season wasn’t long enough to get the red, but we loved the black – We were thrilled with this pepper, lots of stems fairly long stems for our conditions; Same as the bronze but this one was even better, great for fall, it would sure be nice if these would defoliate themselves!; Attractive black round fruits when immature, dull red when mature – Fruits borne at end of branches to produce moderately long stems, slightly earlier than ‘Round Bronze’.
Problems
Too short (2); I did not pinch as directed, consequently the fruits are all in the foliage and difficult to see, slow to color, relative to ‘Black Pearl’; These did not reach maturity before frost (Oct. 10) – the peppers were still black – The plant continued to grow past the first flowering, so fruit was set half way down the stem, a second flowering did not mature into fruit; Many – things like wind, trampling deer, moisture – too much & too little, essentially we had crop failure – not due to any inherent problems with the plant genetics (I think), but due to “outside pressures”; Our season is too short (Zone 5) for this pepper to turn red, used before turning red in bouquets, removing leaves is time consuming; seedlings grew very slowly, plants never fruited (Zone 3); Uneven and poor germination; None; Many were more black than red in color; The red shriveled before the top layer of peppers was ready to harvest; Main stems shorter than basal branches, not useful if long stems are desired, mature ripe fruits not attractive: wrinkled, scarred; Unable to grow/sell.

Comments
For us the fruits were slightly elongated ovals; Would like to try these again next year; Added interest to late season bouquets; Unseasonably cool and wet weather all summer made all my warm weather / greenhouse crops languish; Peppers were glossy black instead of red; People at the farmers market loved this one- they were surprised to find out it was a pepper, it was beautiful paired with zinnias in the lat summer; Needs support net in hoop house; I had one customer ask for two full buckets of these every week for all of October; Topping of plants at 6 or 8 main stem nodes might be useful.
