Piquillo / Pimiento del Piquillo

Saisonübersicht

Beschreibung

Medium-early mini bell pepper with vigorous growth and high yield. The triangular, small, smooth fruits are particularly thick-fleshed and crunchy with a small heart. The hearty, aromatic taste is characteristic of the variety. Suitable for fresh consumption as a snack vegetable and especially for pickling, as the fruits are extremely aromatic even when green. Greenhouse and outdoor cultivation possible.

Anbautipps

You should grow peppers in nutrient-rich soil in a sunny location. For a rich harvest, the first flower (terminal bud/'king flower') should be broken off. This promotes flower and fruit formation on the side shoots. Pull the plants with 3-4 shoots and remove the remaining shoots. In Central Europe, cultivation is usually annual, but the highest yield is only achieved 2-3 years after planting. To achieve this, the plant must be overwintered indoors. The fruits are harvested from July to September, depending on the variety and weather conditions.
