This Pepper is unique because it is a late harvest pepper. When the pepper fruits are mature and turn their color to reddish-brown, it is difficult to match this level of maturity. Farmers have to pay close attention so that they do not pas the needed level of maturity. There is an enormous risk for the farmer to lose their crop if they do. Even sudden weather changes, and he is ruined.
