Hungarian Pepper Questions

16 years ago

A kind trader sent me these Hungarian pepper seeds. Unfortunately, neither of us speak Hungarian. If you have any information or experience growing these peppers IÂd love to hear from you. IÂd specially like to know size, shape, heat level, color and recommended uses. I do know the Kalocsai V-2 is a drying pepper for paprika powder.

Thanks!

I slice them length wise in half and pickle them. Then I lay them across a great sandwich. Unfortunately they do not have a lot of flavor to my taste buds. So I add spices to the pickle mixture. Definitely I like extra garlic in the bottle and regular pickle spices. Although I have moved on to making hot sauce. I think there are better peppers for making hot sauce. I find the hot sauce more useful for all kinds of food.

Questions about my Hot Hungarian Wax Peppers (Hybrids/Crosses)

It all depends. But the first pod is usually a runty mutant that has poor flavor. They tend to grow from the first fork, i usually snip those off. Personally i think this is what you are dealing with. But, the original plants could have been an F1 commercial breed labeled as "Hungarian Hot Wax". That would mean you have an F2 generation on your hands. If so, then if you had planted 10 of them, all 10 could have come out looking different. F2 is where crosses begin to change, sometimes revealing their parentage. The F3 generation will keep showing variance, by about F5 is when things begin to stabilize. The changes end around F8 or so. But, if the greenhouse starts were accidentally crossed in your backyard last year, then you would have an F1 cross on your hands. F1 plants almost always turn out looking the same as one another.

fiedlermeister,

Thank you so very much for the info. I'm planning on growing only 2-3 of these varieties this year due to space limitations. I'm trying to determine which to grow. I plan on bagging blossoms for the first time and saving seeds. I plan on saving the Kalocsai v-2 for sure. From your growing experience of the others, would you recommend them as a must grow, save seed variety?

I would agree with you about the Kalocsai V-2. The others would depend on what you plan to do with them. Szentesi would be good for drying for a powder but not so for fresh use. The two sweet ones would be good for fresh use but less so for powders. Feherozon could be used both ways.
