Summer in the South NEXT | START OVER | PREVIOUS These are bird peppers, Capsicum annum var. glabriusculum, shown larger than they actually are. The fruit is about the size of a No.2 pencil eraser. They are VERY hot but the Mockingbirds absolutely love them. I have several of them which I have grown from cuttings. Submit a picture. Copyright © 2005 Consolidated Publishing Co.
