Overview
Volcano is a hybrid hot pepper of Asian type that Ferry-Morse introduced in 1988 from breeder N. Dragoescu. The slender pods run about 5 inches long and only a quarter inch across, smooth-skinned and light green before they ripen through a glossy yellow-green stage to red. It was bred alongside Hungarian Yellow Wax as the comparison: the plants grow taller with fuller foliage that shades the hanging fruit, and the pods come out slightly bigger. Give it full sun and warm soil, and pick at any color stage depending on how much ripeness and heat you want. A sound choice for gardeners who like a thin, wax-style hot pepper for pickling or slicing.
