Pepper Banana Long Sweet

Banana Long Sweet Peppers

Discover the delightful Pepper Banana Long Sweet (*Capsicum annuum*), a variety that matures in approximately 65 days and offers a mild to medium heat level, registering between 5,000 and 10,000 on the Scoville scale. These attractive peppers boast a tangy and subtly sweet flavor, making them incredibly versatile in the kitchen.

The colorful fruits transition from a bright canary yellow to a vibrant orange as they ripen, eventually turning red when they reach their spiciest. The tapered peppers grow to a length of about 6 inches (15cm), making them perfect for a wide range of culinary applications, including pickling, frying, and adding a sweet crunch to salads and dips.

Their unique shape also allows them to be threaded on string and dried into a colorful ornamental display. Beyond their taste and beauty, these peppers are an excellent source of essential vitamins A and C.

For optimal growth, start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost. Transplant seedlings outdoors to a sunny location with well-drained soil once the danger of frost has passed. Space plants about 18-24 inches apart. Provide support such as stakes or cages, especially as the plants become laden with fruit.

Water regularly and consistently, and fertilize as needed. Harvest the peppers at various stages of color to enjoy a range of sweetness and heat, noting that they are spiciest when fully red.
