Bishop's Crown Sweet
We always want more photos of Bishop's Crown Sweet. Every photo you add is credited to you.
A heatless C. baccatum from Barbados. The pods hang down, 2 to 3 inches long, green going to red, bonnet-shaped with thick walls. Plants reach 42 to 48 inches with white flowers with spots at the base.
A completely heatless form of Bishop's Crown, carrying the same three-lobed bishop's mitre shape but with no capsaicin at all. Pods run larger than the standard Bishop's Crown and the flesh is thicker and crunchier, which makes it a genuine sweet pepper for fresh eating rather than a mild hot one.
Universal Pepper Nomenclature
One code for one pepper, no matter what people call it. Universal Pepper Nomenclature sits behind the names people use and describes the pepper itself: the species, the color it ripens to, its skin, the shape of the pod, and how hot it runs. The last three digits tell apart peppers that match on all of that.
Six parts, always in this order, always split by hyphens. The WikiPepper Foundation board issues every code. Editors cannot create or edit a code.
