My mother brought back some C.Annum ?? seeds from Poland.
The fruit are called Tomato Capsicum there.
They are being grown there in several areas west of Warsaw, fairly
intensively from what she could gather..with larger areas planted every
year..
They seem to like the climate ??? mind you, I think its been mild over
the last few years
Fruit are supposedly smallish tomato size, 5x6 cm - 2x2+1/4 inches and
they are being used predominately for bottling.
Not hot, wondering if they are related to the South African Pepperdews
???
Anybody have any Ideas as to what these are or where they originated..??
???????????????????????????????????
I don't have many seeds, 20-30, planting 3.,
According to the farmer who gave her the seeds they grow true to type..
But I suppose only time will tell ..
My mother has planted some south of Sydney NSW and 9 of 9 have
germinated.,
Hopefully they won't end up like the Italian Lettuce which went straight
to seed 6ft high..
