Fatalii Yellow

Season Overview

Description

The plants of 'Fatalii yellow' become bushes approx. 70 cm high. Their pods have a typical tip for this variety. They ripen from green to yellow and are 6 - 8 cm long and approx. 3 cm in diameter. In contrast to other members of the Capsicum chinense species, the pungency of Fatalii chillies sets in quickly and strongly and is also persistent. There is also a fruity, pronounced lemon aroma, which makes Fatalii the perfect companion for fruity salsas with exotic fruits. The thin fruit walls also make the pods ideal for drying.

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.
