Pepper cayenne Wildcat F1

2023 AAS Edible – Vegetable Winner

Pepper Wildcat is a cayenne pepper with extra-large, 2-3 ounce, fruits. A high-yielding plant with nice thick, fleshy walls that were thicker than comparisons. “It’s a strong compact plant with good flavor,” stated one judge. The 8” fruits are straighter than traditional cayenne fruits with a great smoky flavor and peppery sweetness and a mild pungency of 500-1500 Scoville units. Ease of harvest combined with a very even growth habit and mild heat level makes this a good multi-purpose plant for everyone’s garden!

JUDGE'S 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 and a moderate heat level make 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”
