This variety comes from the Czech Republic and ripens from green to black to dark red. The fruits are similar to those of a jalapeno chili in shape; they are pendulous, thick-fleshed and grow to about 6-8 cm/2.4-3.1 in long. The chilies are aromatic and sweet with only mild heat and ripen relatively early. If they are very exposed to the sun, they may retain their black coloration. Czech Black Chili plants grow bushy and reach about 75 cm tall. They are very productive and the chilies are usually excellent for drying and making (black) chili powder after harvest. Otherwise, we recommend pickling the fruits or, for example, stuffing them with sheep's or goat's cheese and grilling or baking them.
Non hybrid
Not frost resistant
Chili solltest du in nährstoffreicher Erde an einem sonnigen Standort anbauen. Für eine reichhaltige Ernte sollte die erste Blüte (Terminalknospe/'Königsblüte') herausgebrochen werden. Dies fördert die Blüten- und Fruchtbildung an den Seitentrieben. Bei der Chili ist dies allerdings nicht so wichtig, wie bei der Paprika. Ziehe die Pflanzen mit 3-4 Trieben und entferne die übrigen Triebe. In Mitteleuropa ist der Anbau i.d.R. einjährig, der höchste Ertrag wird allerdings erst 2-3 Jahre nach der Pflanzung erzielt. Dafür muss die Pflanze im Haus überwintert werden. Die Ernte der Früchte erfolgt sorten- und witterungsabhängig von Juli bis September.
