The Red Cherry Hot pepper grows on a small, upright, bushy plant with an emerald dark green foliage.  Plant height averages 41-61 cm (16-24”) tall and has a spread that is 41-61cm (16-24”) wide.  It is a very productive plant that produces an abundant amount of cherry shaped, slightly flattened peppers that average around 3-6 cm cm (1½-2”) round. They start out as bright green and mature to red in about 75-95 days, weather dependent.  ​
