Pul Biber is a new favorite. Plants grew well in Kentucky and produced very well. Fruits are flavorful with a nice balance of heat(Similar to Jalapeno).
Will likely dry many, smoke some and try hot sauce with them!

Plants grew well and were productive. We don’t eat many hot peppers but the hot pepper people liked them very much.

these were in a spot with heavy vole predation and so didn’t yield as well as they could have. i blame me and not the variety 🙂 the fruit were juicy and just the right amount of spicey flavor
