Hi Toni!

I've grown them for years.  I'll have about 100 in the open fields this
year.  

Yes- they are a pretty pepper.  They have that distinctive 'chinense'
smell to them but are sometimes surprisingly quite tame.  My experience
has shown them to be a bit more susceptible to end rot than some of the
other varieties.  Dave Anderson & I saw them grown in quantity down in
Jamaica.  They make a good sauce with a heavy aroma & a fruity bite. 
There is also a red squash variety in addition to the orange.
