Popular Turkish sweet pepper. Prolific plants produce long and yellow fruits with medium flesh thickness. Traditionally used as a frying pepper to make şakşuka, a recipe that also involves eggplant, tomatoes and sometimes potatoes.
If you are in a dry really hot area, this is an excellent choice. They are really productive, the more you pick, the more they produce. The plants get really tall, so good tall staking is required. They do better with some extra water in the extreme desert heat (Phoenix, AZ), but they also continued to produce right into December when a frost finally took them out. I planted in September during our monsoon season.
