Description

The Hossinator Banana Pepper is a vigorous, high-performing hybrid variety that delivers exceptional yields and beautiful, uniform fruit. This plant produces large, 8-inch by 1.75-inch peppers that are smooth, straight, heavy, and thick-walled, making them ideal for both home gardens and commercial growers.

Hossinator Banana Pepper stands out for its excellent disease resistance package and strong early production, ensuring reliable performance even under challenging growing conditions. The upright, sturdy plants support heavy fruit loads and maintain excellent plant health throughout the season.

Growing Information

Peppers are in the nightshade family along with tomatoes and eggplant. Plants in the nightshade family are susceptible to blossom end rot, which is a result of a calcium deficiency. To prevent or alleviate this problem, apply pelleted gypsum at the base of the plant at bloom set. Peppers do best when transplanted, as the germination time can be longer than most vegetable seed. Peppers grow very well in our heavy-duty seed starting trays. Plants should be started 4-6 weeks before the intended outdoor planting date. If conditions outside are favorable, transplants may be planted directly from our 162 cell trays. If conditions are still too cold for planting peppers, transplants may be "stepped-up" to 4" pots to allow more room to grow. Peppers can produce heavy fruits and will require some form of support to keep the plant upright. We recommend using the Florida Weave trellising technique that involves using stakes and twine along the row. This ensures that plants and fruits stay off the ground, reducing the possibility of disease and keeping fruits clean.
