"NEW Hybrid Pepper. 70 days. If you like tasty banana peppers, you'll love this whopper, which produces much bigger peppers on much smaller plants. Each fruit is two inches longer and an amazing 30% meatier than the peppers on Sweet Banana. The fruits are 8"" long and more a truly giant pepper. They start yellow and mature orange-red, so you can pick them at any stage you like. Great for pickles, salads or grilling. Burpee Exclusive. Grow in full sun. Sorry, state laws prohibit shipping plants to Alaska, Hawaii, Arizona, California, Nevada. Plants ship in spring at proper planting time. ( click here for shipping schedule ) "

"I was expecting very long peppers, as per the description, but the largest I got was only 6.5". Yields were also okay, at about 10 peppers per plant. Taste was good: distinct peppery flavor but bitter at the skin. When left to ripen to red, flavor was noticeably sweeter but still had bitterness towards the skin. Many peppers developed purple streaks (sun scald?). Also, health and vigor of the plants weren't to my expectations with many leaves turning yellow for no good reason. I think I'll try the non-hybrid version in the future."

worst banana pepper ever,

"We bought these peppers in hopes that we could have enough to can and pickle them. We tried them at different stages for taste, when first showing color, when fully ripe, black peppers?, not sure why, they are supposed to be red. They were the worst tasting, no, they had absolutely no taste and were a waste of time growing. I would not recommend to anyone, grass has a better taste."

"I love these peppers. Great yield, kept producing through a heatwave. Peppers are very meaty for banana peppers. Very good flavor--nice and sweet & crispy."
