Habanero Orange Apple

Description

Habanero Orange Apple is a genuine rarity. It circulates in a small circle of German seed shops and almost nowhere else, and it carries no published origin — no breeder, no country, no year on record. Part of the pleasure here is growing something almost nobody in your gardening circle will have.

The pods are small and rounded, around 3 cm, with the squat, apple-like outline the variety is named for, and they ripen to a clear yellow-orange. The surprise is the heat: despite the name, this is a mild pepper. It has the look of a habanero without the fire, so you can use it generously — sliced fresh into a salad, stuffed, or straight off the plant — where a real habanero would take over the whole dish.

The plant stays bushy and reaches around 1.2 m in good conditions. Grow it as you would any habanero: warmth, sun and a long season. In a Nordic summer that means a greenhouse or a pot against a warm wall, and an early sowing.

Some chilies are worth tasting before you grow them. → Explore the Vault
