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”
