Goal with this cross is to make a striped, jelly bean sized pepper that lacks pungency and is very sweet. Have to cross this with a heatless baccatum and select for desired traits, and lots of back crossing.
I’d say you’re more than half way there! What’s the pungency like now? Also, which heat less baccatum did you have in mind? Is the jelly bean shape an absolute must in the way of your standard?
@pepper-guru The pungency is very high right now, much higher than i expected. I plan to cross with either Cap 455 or Aji Delight to hopefully find a plant without pungency. The shape isn't super important, I just thought it would be fun to have a sweet pepper that looks like candy!
@efinnes CAP455 Would be nice. Also, when the Costa Rica country collections are added to the subscription package products, you could try Aji Campana 😎 Here's the CAP455 I have:
@pepper-guru Both of those plants look nice! I like that Aji Campana, how is the flavor on that?
@efinnes Super Granny Smith Apple
