Specifications
The bishop\'s crown
Christmas bell
or joker\'s hat
is a pepper
a cultivar of the species Capsicum baccatum var. pendulum
named for its distinct
three-sided shape resembling a bishop\'s crown. Although this variety can be found in Barbados
and is Capsicum baccatum var. pendulum
it may be indigenous to South America. Today
it is also grown in Europe
possibly brought there from Brazil by the Portuguese sometime in the 18th century. The actual plant is relatively large
being 3-4 ft (0.8-1.2 m) in height. It produces 30 to 50 peculiar
three or four flat-winged
wrinkled pods. These somewhat flying saucer-like peppers grow to about 1.5 in (4 cm) wide. The flesh inside each pepper is thin
yet crisp. They mature to red from a pale green colour about 90-100 days after the seedlings emerge. The body of the peppers have very little heat
with the wings being sweet and mild. 5000 - 30 000 SHU.
