Sweet Pepper 'Yummy Orange'

YUMMY is a HYBRID!!!!! Please do not save seeds and call it "Yummy". There is a rumor that it is an O.P. Some idiot must be selling F2'...Read Mores or F3's and lying.

It is a great plant, and all the positive comments are correct, but please do not save seeds.

I agree with everything the other reviewers said here - this is an EXCELLENT little sweet pepper. I lost two pepper plants of other vari...Read Moreeties to moles this spring, and replaced them with two of these seedlings from WalMart, grown by Bonnie Plant Farms. I really like these, and the flavor is the sweetest of all the peppers I've grown. This variety isn't a hybrid, it's open-pollinated, so I've saved seeds for next season.

It would be hard to overpraise this plant. I grow over a dozen pepper varieties, amounting to about 150 plants, every year and "Yummy" is...Read More the only variety I never rotate out. The fruit is nearly perfect: beautiful and completely without blemish. As others have pointed out it is certainly sweet, but also possessing a depth of flavor most peppers lack. I don't typically like small peppers --- they tend to crack a lot, are a pain to process, an equal pain to pick, have a terrible seed-to-fruit ratio and taste like cardboard. This pepper is big enough to make slicing for stir-fry a reasonable choice and is nearly pith- and seed-free, making processing a breeze.

However, where this pepper truly shines is in the vigor of the plants. I have never --- repeat that: NEVER --- had one of these plants collapse (I can't say this about any other pepper I have trialed) nor has any branch ever snapped off, and this despite HUGE yields throughout the growing season. It is a gorgeous upright grower --- the rows look like miniature manicured shrubs. This erect habit makes harvest a cakewalk. Likewise, the plant handles the vicissitudes and extremes of summer in Minnesota like a champ. Last year aphids were a plague for all the starts, but Yummy came through, recovered, and produced like nothing had ever happened.

I can't recommend this pepper highly enough.

I grew 'Yummy' pepper for the first time this year- and will DEFINITELY grow more next year. Got my seed from Jung. My peppers are 2"-3" ...Read Morelong, sort of blocky shaped, not shaped like a bell pepper, more like an over-sized jalapeno. The ripen to a beautiful orange color and are about the sweetest peppers I've ever grown. Truly a 'snack pepper', as you can easily eat them right out of the garden. Not many seeds inside.They've been a real hit w/my friends. We ate some just last night stuffed with chicken salad.
