Description

The yellow cherry is a very high-yielding landrace variety from Kosovo. It develops many spherical cherry-sized fruits that grow upright and ripen from green to bright yellow. The plant grows to a height of approx. 30-60 cm/11.8-23.6 in and is ideal for growing outdoors and in greenhouses as well as in pots due to its low growth. It branches out just above the ground and the side shoots form a very broad crown that is flattened at the top. As it requires little space, it is also very suitable for overwintering. The yellow cherry is used in sauces or dried as a spice.

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.
