Pepper Pick-N-Pop Yellow F1
If Peter Piper picked a peck of poppin’ peppers, you’ll be pleased to plant some peppers too!
Why? Because once you harvest the Pick-N-Pop yellow peppers you are going to want to pop them in your mouth! These are cute, snack-sized mini peppers that are extra sweet with just the right amount of juiciness and crunch. They produce continuously on a moderate sized plant with outstanding bacterial leaf spot resistance and produce a prolific number of bright, canary yellow-colored, uniformly shaped peppers.

Judges Observations
- “Peppers are not my favorite, but I loved this variety! I could snack on it any time of the day! even others who don’t prefer peppers also loved it! it was extra sweet, the right amount of juicy and crunch. far more uniform in plant and fruit. bright yellow. fun snacking shape and size. excellent yield. winner in my book!”
- “The peppers just keep coming. Peppers are true to description and a great sweet treat in the field. The fruit production on this plant would make a home gardener feel like their time in the garden was worth it. Plant size isn’t overwhelming, but substantial enough to keep up with the amount of fruit. Perfect canopy – sunscald protection. Plants aren’t toppling over. Pepper’s yellow color is bright/healthy. .”
- “A high quality yellow snack pepper with uniform true yellow color and improved yield and earliness over comparisons.”
- “Very easy to harvest. Very good mature fruit, resistance to Bacterial leaf spot..”
- “I like the compact plant and heavy fruit set.”
- “The trial exceeds all expectations for traits to be judged. It has stayed compact and dense, the fruit is a bright yellow/orange color, yield is uniform and abundant, and matured much faster than the comparisons. so much so that the trial is the only one with fruits, let alone harvestable fruits.”
