70 days to maturity. These productive plants yield up to 20 fruits each and thrive even in hot weather. The slim fruits average 1-2 inches wide and grow 12-14 inches long. To achieve straight fruits, staking is recommended. This heirloom variety from Taiwan is known for its sweet, tender, and delicious fruits. A favorite way to enjoy them is cooked, then chilled, with a dash of soy sauce, freshly chopped garlic, and small pepper slices. Each packet contains 0.25 gram, which is approximately 25 seeds.
Start seeds indoors eight weeks prior to transplanting. Sow ¼ inch deep in sterile potting mix. Keep moist. Germination temperature is near 80ºF.
Harden off plants before transplanting outside but make sure they are above 60ºF. After the night temperatures are above 55ºF, transplant 12 to 18 inches apart in rows three feet apart.
Harvest the fruit when they are young as they get seedy with age.
