Hi All,

If you received "Lemon Drops" from me in your newbie seed pack, please be aware that these are Lemon Drop PEPPERS, not Tomatoes, as I thought they were, and might have put a tomato label on them so you'd know (joke's on me!)

The donor tells me they are very prolific plants, and she got about 100 peppers from ONE plant

Here's a little info:

The lemon drop pepper, ají limon,[1] is a hot, citrus-like, lemon-flavored pepper which is a popular seasoning pepper in Peru, where it is known as kellu uchu.

It is also known as 'hot lemon'. The bright yellow, crinkled, cone-shaped fruits are about 2.5 in long and 0.5 in wide, and mature from green to yellow about 100 days after transplanting (long season), they have fewer seeds than the average pepper, containing 15 on average. The plant is vine-like, typically reaching a height of about 3 ft. Like other C. baccatum species, these peppers were practically unknown in the West until the early 1990s, but are now gaining wide popularity. [2]
