Details
This is a red hot Polish heirloom pepper. Well flavored fruits are tapered and 5" long. These peppers are used extensively by the spice industry in Poland for drying due to their rather thin flesh. The flavor is fruity and lightly sweet but incredibly pungent with a slight burn that fades quickly. Plants are highly productive. Non-Isolated.
