Padron
Bell pepper Padron is a tall growing, very high yielding variety. Many, small thin-skinned fruits. Very productive right into the autumn. The fruits are entirely green up to 5 cm in length and recommended for frying. Larger fruits become hot. Known as "Pimientos de Padros" (classic Spanish tapas) and also "Russian Roulette pepper" because even the small peppers can be hot.
