Have a quick question about a Puta Tree Pepper. I bought a plant last year
and planted it in a too small pot and nothing much happened and it succumbed
to our unseasonably cold California winter freezes. Anyone know this one? I
know what the word Puta is in Italian. Ahem!
I bought another healthy nice looking plant yesterday. It is about 10" tall
and has oblong small fuzzy leaves. The tag says "The hottest of all". Long
skinny baby finger length. 5'-10' tree habit requires support. By second
year, very heavy yielding all year round for years. From the Azores.
Tolerates cool summers. Protect from hard frosts. Very attractive against
trellis or in a large patio container. Full or 1/2 day sun. Fertilize. Use
fresh or dry.
I want to know how it tastes and if anyone has experience growing this?
Thanks,
Mary-Anne
