The bush grows dense and relatively low (30cm) and has slightly darker green leaves than a Thai or Cayenne. The yield is prolific. The small buds start out almost black and change to the colour of aubergine until they get about 10 - 15mm long. At this point the side of the chile which faces the sun goes green. This appears to happen in a day or so. As the pepper matures and gets to about 2 - 3 cm long, it turns entirely green and stays that way for several days. It then goes into a multicoloured phase of greenorange/red and ends up entirely red. The insides are dense and packed with seeds and the flesh is relatively thick.
