Here is the CAP 1639 Pepper also known as Gelbfruechtig pepper, Capsicum annuum var. glabriusculum, Scoville units: 1,000 to 20,000 SHU. This rare and unusual pepper originates from the Bundeszentrale Ex-situ-Genbank landwirtschaftlicher und gärtnerischer Kulturpflanzen in Germany. The strange pepper upright golden pods with one per node. The pods get to around 1.5 inches long and has a rich pepper flavor! Fruits start out green in color and turn to a brith yellow color and eventually a deep dark yellow-orange when fully ripe. Plants can get to 36 inches tall and tend to be a somewhat short sized plant but if pruned and potted they can get very bushy. Pods have an amazing smooth but sometimes sharp flavor with a very nice annuum overtone with medium to low heat and lacks sweetness but very satisfying. Some peppers may be very very hot so be careful! These make a great sauce and adding to your pickling recipes as well as holds up well when frying. It's also good for fresh eating too! Very rare variety makes a great house plant or bonsai! Open pollinated 57 to 84 days.

  • GERMINATION INFO

    Peppers require a long warm season to produce fruits, taking from 58 to 100 days to mature. Although grown as an annual throughout most of the country, peppers survive as perennials in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 9b, 10 and 11. Ornamental, sweet and hot peppers all require the same conditions for germination and fruit production.

    1. Start pepper seeds six to eight weeks before you plan to plant them outside. Use planting trays or pots with drainage holes and a separate water tray to allow excess moisture to drain.

    2. Wash planting trays or pots with hot water and soap. Mix nine parts water with one part bleach and rinse the containers with the mixture to remove any bacteria and fungus.

    3. Fill the planting container with seed starting mix. Use a packaged soilless blend or make your own using one-third peat, one-third sand and one-third vermiculite.

    4. Broadcast the pepper seeds across the seed starting medium. Cover them with a light layer of the medium about twice as thick as the seed width.

    5. Mist the planted container with room temperature water until the starting mix feels damp all the way through. Cover the tray or pots with a humidity dome or plastic film.

    6. Place the planters in a warm location. Pepper seeds need temperatures around 70 to 80 degrees F to germinate. Use a seed starting heat mat with thermostat to ensure consistent and accurate temperatures.

    7. Check the peppers daily for moisture levels and seedlings. Mist as needed to keep the soilless mix moist. Germination takes seven to 14 days for most varieties of peppers. Remove the plastic cover when seedlings appear.
