Description

"Aci Sivri" is a hot pepper from Turkey with very long, up to 20 cm long fruits that have a great aroma. They ripen from green to yellow and orange to a rich red. The spiciness varies from mild to medium hot. In Turkey, they are used freshly sliced in salads, braised whole in a pan or on the grill.

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.
