Growers in the Pacific Northwest and Northern Tier of the US rely on Hungarian Hot Wax because it matures very early in cool, wet weather. However, many commercial strains have been poorly maintained; plants grown from these lots are often floppy, and the fruits vary in size, shape, and heat level. In 2015, our breeding team began improving this variety through 3 cycles of selective plant breeding. Our newly selected strain features an upright plant and uniform fruits. The greatly improved plant architecture offers better fruit protection and faster/easier harvests with minimal fruit damage! Smooth, tapered, and moderately spicy fruits avg. 5 1/2" x 1 1/2" and mature from pale yellow to orange red, and finally, to a vibrant red. Excellent for frying, roasting, or pickling.
