Description

Capsicum ‘Red Bullhorn’ bears fruit which is longer and more tapered than other capsicums. The shape of the fruit is said to resemble a bull’s horn. The fruits ripen from green to red; it can be eaten green or red, either raw or cooked. Red fruit is sweeter.
Capsicums are a perennial plant in frost-free areas but will produce less fruit in subsequent years. They are usually grown as annuals in western Sydney. Capsicums can be overwintered in a warm, sheltered spot such as a greenhouse, in front of a north-facing wall or on a sunny, north-facing verandah or balcony.
Viable seeds can only be collected from mature fruit. Leave the fruit on the plant, where possible, until it has matured before being edible. However, seed can most easily be collected from mature fruit while preparing food for eating.
