A medium sized capsicum that is early, fleshy, sweet and can handle short summers. A strong upright bush that can handle the good crop it produces. It is good best to remove the first two to three flower clusters to prevent the early setting of seedless fruit that can stunt the bush for a month or more. 20 seeds.
