Rajah F1 Hybrid Hot Pepper

OUTSTANDING QUALITIES

  • CAYENNE TYPE
  • VIGOROUS PLANTS
  • VERY HOT
  • HIGH YIELD POTENTIAL
  • IDEALLY SUITED FOR DRYING

Rajah I is an early maturing F1 hybrid hot pepper for the fresh and drying market. The bearing habit of Rajah I is pendent and its fruit type can be compared to Long Slim Cayenne types, but with superior quality. The plants have a strong root system, are uniform and tend to handle difficult conditions exceptionally well. Plants have good foliage cover that protects the fruit against sunscald. Fruit size is medium (12 cm in length by 1.5 cm in diameter), weigh around 10 – 12 g and have thin fleshed walls. The uniform fruit is very hot, with a good flavour.  Fruit colour very well from a medium-dark green to a dark red when mature. Rajah I is particularly well adapted in Southern Africa being developed locally and is also suited for home garden growing.
