Pepper Buffy F1

2022 AAS Edible – Vegetable Winner

Will this Buffy fend off blood-sucking supernatural beings? We’re not sure, but we do know it’s one very delicious hot pepper! “I dig this fiery little pepper!” says one judge. “I have nothing negative to say about this variety,” exclaims another. This Buffy will do right by you by producing a good yield of juicy, thick-walled green to red fruits on strong, healthy upright plants. Buffy’s fruits are more attractive than the comparisons as well as slightly larger making them perfect for flavorful sport peppers but also for use in other applications. The peppers are held high on the plant adding ornamental value to the garden. Buffy was faster to mature than Tobasco in the AAS trials with a bit less heat than Ascent until the seeds are added in. In summary, Buffy deserves its moment of recognition and deserves a place in your garden.

HOW TO GROW

Hot pepper is a strong crop so cultivation is not difficult. All the seeds should be put into germination in the substrate or sand with proper irrigation. After 35 days, selecting only the strong seedling then transplant it to the garden field. On the 20th day after transplanting, we suggest removing all the leaves and side shoots below the second branch. This can effectively boost the flowering and fruit set. The yield of this hot pepper is heavy, so it requires a staking system or kind of supporting rope so as to keep the plant upright. Hot pepper requires good fertilizer. A sufficient base fertilizer and monthly side dressing is recommended

JUDGE'S OBSERVATIONS

  • “Excellent flavor. Crazy heat. Attractive plant. No diseases. All around a delight.”
  • “Given the slightly larger size of the peppers, you can actually do something with them.”
  • “You can actually separate the flesh from the septum and seeds allows you to control the level of heat allowed into your culinary activities.”
  • “Beautiful plant and fruit! I really honestly have nothing negative to say about this variety.”
  • “Yes, I love this pepper. It is a hot pepper and it has a great look.” 
  • “If you had a BIG pot for your deck or patio, you could grow this in a pot, but the plants were all vigorous and would quickly outgrow something you might typically consider a patio pot.”
