I can't say enough positive things about this hybrid. My 1st love is for the hot capsicums, but we all need sweeter, milder varieties for cooking. Cubanelle & Gypsy are hard to beat, but this one has been the best non-bell in my little garden in the woods for the last 5-6 years. Very tasty in the green state (as is Cubanelle) & can develop a very nice sweet bite when fully ripe. Not many hybrids in my garden, but will always have room for this one.
