Pepper 'Rat's Tail' / 'Cola de rata' / 'Chile de Arbol'

  • Product number: 209295
  • Origin: South America
  • Latin: Capsicum annuum

The mild, red fruits are about 10 cm long and 1 cm wide. The plant is a strong grower and can reach a maximum length of 120 cm. The name Chile de Arbol refers to its growth 'like a tree'. The stems are thick, strong, and woody. This variety needs warmth, and because the fruits have a long ripening period, a spot in a greenhouse is the most reliable option. In Chile (its country of origin), the fruits are dried and strung together.
