Avg. 3–3 1/2" fruits are thin-walled and have no heat. Popular in Japan, where its thin walls make it particularly suitable for tempura. Also very good roasted, in stir-fries, or sautéed. In Asia, the fruits are always cooked green, but they may also be used red. Thinly sliced, the red, slightly sweet fruits are excellent in salads and cole slaws. The plants are large and very productive.
Harden off and plant outside once night time temperatures are consistently above 50 degrees. Grows well in the ground or in a container. If you are planting in a container, peppers benefit from having at least a 3 gallon bucket sized container for each plant.
60 days to harvest green, 80 days to harvest red
