Judges Observations
- The entry fruits were large, about 8″ long, and mostly straight
- Lots of fruit production
- Entry did have HUGE fruits compared to the comparisons, which made harvest easier (easy to see a 6″ bright red pepper!)
- Good flavor makes this a multi-purpose pepper for your garden
- The sheer size of these peppers is astonishing. They are literally almost 100% larger than the others, volumetrically speaking. Insanity
