Overview
Bananarama is a Burpee sweet banana pepper introduced in 1999. The plants stay small but yield heavily, setting meaty fruit about 8 inches (20 cm) long in the classic banana shape. Fruit start yellow and ripen to orange-red, and they are ready around 70 days from transplant. The compact habit suits containers and tight beds. Slice the young yellow fruit into salads, or let them color up and fry or roast them; the thick flesh holds together well in the pan.
