Tatiana Kouchnareva (B.C KO T). Ram's Horn - ripe fruit. 2014-07-17.

B.C KO T

Long slender pods, 1" in diameter and up to 8" long, mostly curved, hence the name. Ripen from green to red. Very hot, with delicious sweet undertones. It was the earliest hot pepper to turn color in our 2014 garden, so I would certainly call it 'early'.

Seed source:

Seed Savers Heritage Farm, Decorah, Iowa (IA SSE HF) 13 / IN HI L

Year grown: 2014

Location: Zone 7b, PNW, Anmore, BC, Canada (760 ft above sea level)
