Note
Found at Deaflora in Germany and tested in 2024, it was a big hit with us and with everyone we let taste it. We therefore put it into production in 2025. A little bigger and only slightly later than Doe Hill, the flavor is just Wow! It’s our favorite bell pepper to eat fresh, very fleshy and sweet, it’s beautiful and perfect. The name, however, is another matter…

Paradeisfrüchtige Frührot = early red fruity tomato sweet pepper

Our pronunciation of Paradeisfrüchtige Frührot being too weird and never the same from one time to the next… We’ve got into the habit of calling it simply Paradise sweet pepper, and honestly, it suits it just fine.
