A Turkish heirloom Cayenne type. Each plant can produce up to fifty 5 to 9 in long shiny crimson pods which are often curled and twisted. The pungency is notoriously inconsistent as pods can range from mildly pungent to burning hot. The pods start pale green before maturing to crimson in 90 days. One for Indian cooking connoisseurs. Fruit position and shape can be mixed.
