Origin & history
A small golden baccatum with a distinctly fruity finish, grown in Peru and Bolivia and kept in western collections mainly for its flavour rather than its yield.
Measurements
| Measurement | Value | Context |
|---|---|---|
| Days to maturity | 100-120 days | |
| Scoville heat | 20,000-50,000 SHU | Reported ranges for this line vary widely between suppliers; the width here reflects that disagreement rather than a measured spread. |
Traits
Disease resistance
No documented disease resistance, typical of heirlooms and older open-pollinated varieties. See pepper diseases for the cultural playbook that fills the gap.
