The Emerald Giant Pepper was developed in 1963. It produces heavy yields of blocky thick walled dark green to red peppers that are 10-13 cm (4½-5”) long by 8-10 cm (3½-4”). Peppers are crisp and sweet. Plant height averages around 66-76 cm (26-30”) tall, but can achieve 91 cm (3’) under ideal growing conditions. These colorful tasty big peppers are perfect for eating raw, stuffing, roasting and grilling.
