Love it!

It puts on a nice display and dried ripe (red) peppers are great if you mash them into flakes. I've got two growing now.

JMHO,

ps. it's also known as Hawk's Claw

Cool plant, cool growth habit.
And lots of folks like these peppers. We were just talking about them the other day.

For future reference, you can always use the search bar at the bottom of the Forum.
That's what I did just now. Typed in 'Takanotsume' and the Threads appeared.

I grew the pepper in 2009, but I didn't receive the plant until the middle of August,
and so I didn't have any ripe pods until Christmas. And, by then, the pods were crap.

I'd grow it again, though. I'd just start it myself, and on time.

Thanks for the replies!

I'll definitely dry some for flakes. I have 5 plants so I should have plenty.

I'll read those hot sauce postings now. I actually did search it before I posted this but I must have spelled it wrong or something because there were no results. I just tried it again and there were a bunch.

Thanks again!
