Unit price perCapsicum annuum
Sweet Banana is a productive heirloom Capsicum producing long, tapered fruits with thick, crisp flesh and a mild, sweet flavour. Fruits grow to approximately 15 cm long, beginning pale yellow before gradually ripening through orange to a rich red when fully mature.
The sweet, crunchy fruits are excellent eaten fresh in salads and sandwiches or used for pickling, grilling, roasting and frying. They can be harvested at the yellow stage for a crisp, mild flavour or allowed to ripen fully to red, when they become softer and noticeably sweeter.
Growing as a compact bush to approximately 60 cm tall, Sweet Banana is well suited to vegetable gardens and large containers. An early and generous producer, it begins cropping in approximately 60–75 days and will continue setting fruit through warm weather when regularly harvested.
Approximately 20 seeds per packet

Planting / Sowing
Sow approximately 5 mm deep into trays or pots and keep warm during germination. Capsicum seed germinates best with consistent warmth and may be slow to emerge in cool conditions.
Transplant seedlings once the weather and soil have warmed, spacing approximately 40–50 cm apart in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil. Maintain consistent moisture during flowering and fruit development.
Harvest fruits at the yellow stage or leave them on the plant to ripen through orange to red for their sweetest flavour.
Maturity: approximately 60–75 days.
Due to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety and WA has a 10,000 seeds limit per variety.
