About this variety

Bred by Chris Fowler in Wales, Peach Sugar Rush is a prolific baccatum variety known for its distinctive peach-coloured elongated pods and exceptional fruity flavor. The plants grow tall and vigorous, producing an abundance of pendant fruits that ripen from pale green through blush to a peachy-orange hue. The flavor profile is notably complex: an initial burst of sweet, almost tropical fruitiness followed by a building heat that sneaks up gradually, making it both accessible and exciting for fresh eating and culinary applications.
