James, the Heritage Big Jim was super hot, even for my wife and I that eat a lot of hot chile. Great time of the year for this kind of harvest.

Your pic looks fantastic, I need to start taking photos. I have basil and bell peppers only right now. I cannot wait to plant soon.

Michael, I grew Apelsin/(Appelsin as mine came labelled) this summer and thought they were really nice. Do you have any history of this pepper? Patty

Patty-I got them from Andrey, one of our members. Thats all I know. It is definitely one of my sweet pepper favorites. Produces a lot of peppers for me on a small plant.

I got mine in swap and they could well have originated with Andrey too. But the spelling made me wonder which was correct... and Tania has a tomato Apelsin.. Anybody out there what does Apelsin translate to...... Appelsin or Apelsin?? I loved this pepper and will be growing it in 2013 too..

Patty-Andrey's SSE listing says that Apelsin means "An Orange" in Russian. Says he got his seed from a Russian CV.

Apelsin peppers are really nice and sweet on compact beautiful plant. A thin skin, but a really sweet fruity flavor.

"Appelsin" is probably a mistake in Russian name writing from one of Estonian seed e-shops popular among foreign buyers. In Baltic States (Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia) they really forgot how to speak and write in Russian correctly after a Soviet Union collapse in 1991 :-)
