Dulce Sol

Season Overview

Description

"Dulce Sol" is a delicious tree chili variety. This chilli variety is sweet in taste and mild in heat. It also has a fruity, juicy aroma, a pretty bell shape and a bright golden yellow color. Its mild heat makes it suitable for snacking from the bush and as a splash of color in salads.

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.
