Pepper - Piaozinho
I got these seeds from Trade Winds Fruit. Piaozinho is a Capsicum chinense pepper from Brazil. This pepper has a distinct shape, similar to a top (toy), which hangs like a pendant from the plant. Peppers ripen from green to red (turning a brownish color between), and measure 1.25 inches long by about 3/4 inch wide. Plants grow 18-24 inches tall and are said to be fairly productive. Several seed sale sites claim 100,000-300,000 Scoville units for these peppers, but I did find at least one review that claimed they're much milder than that. Oddly enough while researching this variety, it would seem most seed sellers do not have photos of it on their sites. For such a unique looking pepper, I wonder why that is.
