Bull Nose Pepper - (Capsicum annuum) |
|
|
The Bull Nose Pepper is an heirloom from India- 1759, grown by Thomas Jefferson. Large, deep-ridged almost square pods are uniform ripening, very early and prolific, bell pepper that ripens green into bright scarlet that is both sweet and hot. Ribs can be quite pungent but the flesh is sweet.
Prolific producer. Great fresh or stuffed. Indentation on blossom end resembles a bull's nose. Amelia Simmons refers to these in her 1796 “American Cookery” (said to be the first American cookbook, by the way). Bull Nose is becoming quite scarce.

An excellent pepper that had a high yield. |
| The Master Gardeners at the historic Francis Land House Heirloom Vegetable Garden in Virginia Beach, Virginia are providing feedback on the donated seeds. Our garden consists of 35 raised beds, each four feet by twenty feet. The garden receives full sun all day and is fertilized with a combination of compost and commercial organic fertilizer. An excellent pepper that had a high yield with good foliage to avoid sun scald and fruit that was thick fleshed and sweet. The plants held up very well despite the hot summer we experienced. |
