Description: MADE IN USA CORNO DI TORO sweet pepper seeds, heirloom, open-pollinated, non-gmo. 20 seeds per packet. CORNO DI TORO has fantastic flavor(did I say DELICIOUS?!?!), turns from green to a brilliant red, and is somewhat tapered in shape, sometimes pointed, what can I say? The shape can vary from plant to plant, but the flavor is awesome and remains consistent. VERY productive. It has performed amazingly well for me in the high desert frontier at 4100 feet. My growing season is sometimes very long (May-November) and other years it can end in early September. No matter, this variety puts on a ton of fruit and does very well regardless of length of season. Great flavor and appearance. PROLIFIC! This sweet pepper, CORNO DI TORO, is my favorite all around use sweet pepper. I use it in everything...stir fries, sautés, etc. but my favorite is using them to make pickled peppers. I can them and enjoy them all year long. Plus, when I first started gardening I always wanted to grow peppers, but only ever got a few per plant. This variety puts on a lot of fruit, you'll be glad you planted this one. 75 day maturity. Multi-talented Italian heirloom: delicious raw, fried, stuffed or grilled. The name of this Italian heirloom translates as "horn of the bull", a tribute to the peppers' full, tapered shape. Ripening to a bright red, the fruits-8-10" long and 2 1/2-3' wide at the top-have a sweet, crisp, full-bodied flavor. A tasty favorite eaten raw, fried, stuffed or grilled. Ready to harvest about 75 days from transplant. These plants can get big and so can the fruit, therefore they will benefit from staking and/or other support.CORNO DI TORO is one heck of a pepper. EXCELLENT PEPPER, well worth growing! INCLUDES BASIC GROWING INSTRUCTIONS All seeds are fermented, strained, washed, dried, and stored at 34 degrees f until you purchase them. I have been saving seed for 7 years and this is the step by step process I use every year and I'll tell you, my germination rates are amazing! a quick note on seed storage... I feel through my experience the best way to store your seed is in the refrigerator. Some vegetable varieties produce seed that remains viable for many years (tomatoes) and others produce seed that does not store well under any conditions (onions). I believe seed stored under refrigerated conditions could last 10 years or more. I have just planted some ACE 55 seeds from 2000 this last summer 2017. They did great! Germination rates were in the 90% range and these seeds had been sitting in a box in my garage for the past 17 years! I have some of that seed available now listed as Marlboro Ace 55. GET SOME! At Frontier Farms, we specialize in many varieties of Heirloom tomatoes, peppers, plus many other vegetable varieties. WHAT IS AN HEIRLOOM? Heirloom plants are grown from seeds that have been handed down thru generations, saved from year to year, some varieties dating back hundreds of years. Many made the migration from Europe and the East with the immigrants coming to the USA. The seeds are never cross pollinated and so they remain true to their particular characteristics. Heirloom tomatoes come in all colors, shapes, and sizes ? Reds, Pinks, Yellows, Orange, White, Green, Striped, and Black. Ranging in sizes of cherry and grape to large grapefruit size, meaty, or juicy. WHY HEIRLOOM? These tomatoes are more natural, they are non GMO (genetically modified). They do not have as long of a shelf life as store bought tomatoes, but that is what makes them special. They have a real fantastic tomato flavor not found in grocery store offerings. These tomatoes are indeterminate (they grow all season, they flower all season and they produce tomatoes all season. They don?t stop until frost. Once heirloom tomatoes are picked, they do not have a long shelf life as hybrids but they more than make up for any shortcomings in flavor.Please see my other listings and my store for more great varieties and thank you!
