\ud83c\udf45 Quick take:<\/strong> Fuego Rosa is an indeterminate<\/strong>, pepper-shaped paste variety bred by Fred Hempel<\/strong>. It produces beautiful, glossy pink fruits with gold striping. Growers report good yields, but flavor reviews are wildly mixed: greenhouse growers found it sweet and juicy, while outdoor growers reported thick skins and dry, rubbery flesh.

Fuego Rosa. A new variety from Fred Hempel. Indeterminate, grew in the greenhouse pruned to 2 leaders. Heavy yielder, the fruits are absolutely beautiful, glossy pepper-shaped, pink with gold stripes. Meaty, firm, but still juicy and sweet, weighing 5.3-7 oz (150-200 g). Very few seeds \ud83d\ude2b Makes a great pair with Yellow Fire.<\/p>\n

I grew it out in the dirt in 2021. Beautiful, pretty productive, but it was completely “rubbery”. Tasteless, crazy thick skin, dense, dry and bland. I was honestly surprised, a striped variety from Fred Hempel and such a total flop on the tasting plate. Maybe I underfed it or maybe the variety just doesn’t suit our conditions, but I was disappointed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
