Tags: Certified Organic Heirloom Open Pollinated

Growing Practices: No Pesticides No Herbicides No Fungicides No Synthetic Fertilizers

Latin Name: Capsicum baccatum

Days to Maturity: 115

Description:

These spectacularly shaped red peppers are very sweet and crisp, with just a little spice near the seeds (spiciness varies a bit between plants, but all are mild as hot peppers go). The 4-foot tall plants create a dense canopy, outcompeting weeds before making a prolific fruit set. We recommend covering with plastic or row cover late in the season to secure the full harvest (and to have peppers through November). Our seedstock came from Tom Frothingham at a seed swap in Arkansas in 2013 – he called them Brazilian Orchid, but further research indicates these are called Cambuci peppers in Brazil. 125 seeds/gram. 115 days. Grown by Twin Oaks Seed Farm.

  • Answer this question

    I need information on this pepper and I can't find any. I need to know if it is a natural insecticide and more details about that. I need to know historical or mythical uses and values. I just need a lot of help. Everything is popping up about Brazilian pepper trees which are different. HELP!

    • I believe that this pepper was named 'Brazilian Orchid' by Tom Frothingham of Arkansas. I forget how he came across them, but they didn't come with a name so he made one up. You could do a search for "Capsicum baccatum Brazil" and see more information about similar peppers. This pepper is minimally spicy. I don't know anything about using it as a natural insecticide.
