You don't have the berlue, this hot pepper evokes with precision the male member.;Of unknown origin, it would probably come from the regions of Louisiana, Texas in the United States or Mexico. His popularity would be due to Frank X. Tolbert (1912-1984), a journalist-historian from Texas working at the Dallas Morning News (between 1946 and 1984) and writing rather unusual local columns. In English he is called Peter Pepper (Capsicum annuum var. annuum, "Peter pepper"). You can find reds, oranges and yellows (this last color being rather rare). On the Scoville scale, it is evaluated on average at 16,500 on the Scoville scale, that is to say that it has a burning taste, but excellent dried or candied. Its shape is not discreet, it plants very well in a pot for Grandma's balcony, and will find its place in a guerrilla gardening, or on a sidewalk eatery (no pun intended) to make the neighbors laugh.

Growing Tips

Sow seeds indoors in April. Then take out the seedlings when temperatures permit. Each seed must be separated from its peers to produce a plant. Let it grow for the first year without eating. The second year, the sowing will have given a crown of small pods attached to each other. Stick your shovel into the tiller, then remove the half which you will eat. The other half can stay in the ground and survive the winter.
You can also take the opportunity to separate the small bulbs and replant them immediately in another location, in order to encourage the formation of a tiller in the following year.
