NotesThe Yatzy pepper, or the Yatsufusa pepper, is the #1 top-producing C. annum hot pepper that you'll find anywhere! Originating from Japan, this variety is EXTREMELY prolific! You won't find much behind the leaves, because chiles are covering the entire plant!

Plant these seeds in your garden and watch them sprout into compact 2 ft. tall pepper plants. You'll notice these peppers growing in upright clusters of 5-6, growing around 2-3" tall and ripening from green to their shiny bright red color. These are early maturing and continuous producers - the more pepper pods you pick, the more replacement peppers will appear on this wonderful plant!

Yatzy peppers have fruity and spicy flavors similar to Cayennes and some Thai peppers. And with heat levels soaring as high as 75,000 SHUs, this is a pretty hot pepper to use in your fresh and cooked meals! This is very popular in Japanese cuisine, and is also great to use dried as a spicy chili powder!
