Tatiana Kouchnareva (B.C KO T). Odessa Market - ripe fruit. 2014-09-14.

B.C KO T

Quite early in our garden. Pods start from light green, turning light yellow and finally bright dark red. Delicious sweet flavor, with a hint of smokiness. Firm walls are about 0.5 mm thick. We loved it dehydrated and ground into sweet paprika. Plant are quite compact and can be successfully grown in pots.

Year grown: 2012 (1 - germination failure), 2014(2)
