Vesuvio (WS-4444)

One of our best rated red habanero varieties due to earliness in developing fruit and changing color. Grows on very vigorous plants. Plants grow indeterminately, which allow for multiple fruit harvests. Leaves reach large sizes too, great cover for protecting peppers that have average lengths of at least 2.5 inches (6.5 cm). On top of size and vigor in plant growth, this variety is quite astounding and impressive. Uniformity is one of the best you will find in this segment, with green fruits ripening to bright red color. Variety has a long shelf life and does well in both greenhouses and open field production.
