Harvest Quality: Compact but highly productive plants that yield high numbers of thick, firm pods that hold up exceptionally well after picking without losing their crisp texture.

Growth Habit: Compact, sturdy, well-branching plants typically reach 2–3 ft. and may need a small stake or cage to support heavy fruit clusters.

Harvest Tip: For the best smoky sweetness and heat, pick peppers when fully glossy chocolate-brown and about 2” inches long.

Note: Always wear protective gloves when handling or cutting them to avoid severe capsaicin burns on your skin or eyes.
