Hybidized by Tom Wagner in the 70's. According to Tom, Schimmeig Stoo means Striped Hollow in the Gaelic/Norse language of his grandfather on his Mom's side.

The fruit is striking with the bell pepper shape and pretty stripes. But like others, I found the flavor to be bland.

Stuffing type, bright red with orange stripes running down it's sides. Thick walls and hollow seed cavity.

These hollow tomatoes are shaped just like a bell pepper.The seeds are held under the stem in a ball and when the top is cut off,the seeds come out in a lump,just like a pepper.

I was planning to offer these to an upscale eatery,but they didn't grow uniform in size enough for commercial sales for me.Individual salad portions for bridal luncheons was what I had in mind,but there were too many small ones.

They do make a nice cup for salads and if you can't digest the bell peppers,then they will stuff and bake with your favorite stuffed pepper recipe.

The flavor is bland,but as the cup makes a great container for something else,I feel like that is not quite as important.
