I grew these last year in ground and they failed to thrive. I really only got enough peppers to eat a few here and there while I was working in the garden. I decided to try them again this year, but I only put one plant in thankfully. It really liked my raised bed. It got about 24" tall and 36" wide and was COVERED in peppers. I have 3 quart jars of pickled biquinhos, in addition to the ones I ate in the garden. They have a very unique flavor that I can't decide if I actually like or not. I haven't tried the pickled ones yet. Hopefully I like them because I have lots.

- TaylorVerified ReviewerRated 3 out of 5 stars8/12/26Weak Seeds, but Delicious
I grow these every year as a pizza topping and they have a totally unique, amazing flavor - plus the way they pop in your mouth when you bite into them after being roasted is fantastic as well. I noticed my plants weren’t getting very big & were growing very slowly, so when I ran out I bought more from another seller. The difference in plant size, health and number of peppers is night and day. B.I. Needs to work on their seed quality before selling these again.
