Description:
One of our most dependable heirloom peppers, the Sweet Banana produces and grows like crazy! This banana pepper variety has impressive flavors and low-level heat perfect for a wide range of culinary uses.
These 2 ft. tall compact pepper plants are great producers, having high yields of incredibly long 6-7" peppers! Plants may require additional staking for supporting large yields. Pods are slender, with some growing straight and others curved. Tapering off to a point, Sweet Banana peppers ripen from green to yellow, and mellow to red when you leave them on to ripen longer.
It is safe to assume that Sweet Banana pepper has a sweet flavor, but we can't stop raving about how great this flavor is! This is sure one of the best sweet pepper varieties you need to grow and see for yourself how wonderful they are. Add these to fresh foods like salads and sandwiches, cook and roast these pods, or save them for later by pickling!
