The thick walled fruits are small, up to 8 cm long, bright yellow when ripe with few seeds, crisp texture and a very sweet, mild, and distinctly citrusy flavor. Plants are compact, approx. 45 cm high, making them ideal for growing in pots. They can be eaten raw, preserved or in stir fries and are ideal for grilling, filling and snacking.

Suitable for fresh use and canning.Â
The best temperature for germination of pepper seeds is + 22-25°C. Seeds germinate within 14-22 days. Seedlings are planted in a field after frost. Grown outdoors in an area protected from the wind, in sunny place and fertile soil.
