Apple Sweet Pepper (heart pimiento) |
57 days green 73 days red |
Mild, juicy & sweetly fruity, Apple Sweet Pepper is at its best flavor just as the mature fruits are turning green to red. The 4″ top-shaped fruits are more rounded, are a little heavier, and mature a few days later than Lipstick. The medium-sized plants yield well in diverse climates. |

Cherry Pick Hybrid (Cherry) |
68 days green 79 days red |
Cherry Pick Hybrid has great uniformity in fruit size and good disease resistance, not like the older varieties of cherry peppers. Fruits measure 1 ¼” x 1 ¼” and are so uniformly rounded and sized, they could have come out of a mold! The yield is superb. Usually picked in the green stage, let some mature to totally red for great pickled peppers. |
