  • Posted by Newyorkrita (North Shore, Long Island, NY ) on Jul 27, 2017 2:33 PM concerning plant:
    Fushimi grow elongated to at least 6 inches and narrow at about half an inch. These are one of the Japanese peppers and I pick mine green. But if left on the plant longer they do turn red. They may look like a hot pepper but they have no heat, only flavor.

    These are usually eaten whole, including the inside with seeds and all.

    These are extremely productive plants.
