Tatiana Kouchnareva (B.C KO T). Chocolate Cherry - ripe fruit. 2013-10-08.

B.C KO T

Compact branching plants, 2' tall. Fruits are small, 1-1.5" in diameter, flattened round cherry-type that ripen from dark green to beautiful chocolate brown. Some fruits have little to almost no heat, but others have some nice heat. Great flavor. Well suited for stuffing and do very well in pots. We love them fresh, stuffed with home-made cream cheese.
