Grower Information:

Corno-shaped pepper has outstanding crisp texture, rich flavour and more sweetness than large-fruited peppers.
Fruit is often seedless, which means less preparation time for chopping and cooking; great on the grill or baked stuffed with cheese.
To produce seedless fruit, grow it in isolation from other (non-seedless) pepper varieties.
If it is not isolated, it will produce larger, great-tasting fruit with just a few seeds.
Best grown in-ground with support of stakes or a cage.
