Capsicum Annuum 'Jimmy Nardello'

 

Chilli 'Jimmy Nardello'

A small upright shrub with glossy green leaves of varying sizes depending on the variety. Chillies tend to be long, narrow, tapering fruit. The single flowers are an off-white (sometimes purplish) color while the stem is densely branched and up to 24ins tall. 'Jimmy Nardello' bears long, thin, bright red chillis. They start green and soon change to a glossy red, and can grow up to 10" long, though are usually 6"-9" in length - curved and twisted in shape. They are thin-skinned, and have a sweet, fruity flavour and crisp texture. The flavour becomes rich and somewhat smoky when dried.
