Description

The "Sweet Cherry" variety is an aromatic cherry bell pepper. It resembles a cherry on the outside, hence its name. The plants grow quite tall at 120 cm and bear a large number of small (approx. 2 cm), red and very sweet, aromatic and spicy fruits without any heat. They are ideal for goulash and hearty sauces, to which they lend an incomparable aroma. They also taste great fresh, straight from the bush.

Non hybrid

Not frost resistant

Growing tips

Chili should be grown in nutrient-rich soil in a sunny location. For a rich harvest, the first flower (terminal bud/'king flower') should be broken off. This promotes flower and fruit formation on the side shoots. However, this is not as important for chili peppers as it is for peppers. Pull the plants with 3-4 shoots and remove the remaining shoots. In Central Europe, cultivation is usually annual, but the highest yield is only achieved 2-3 years after planting. To achieve this, the plant must be overwintered indoors. The fruit is harvested from July to September, depending on the variety and weather conditions.
