Corno di Toro (Bulls Horn Pepper) is an Italian Heirloom. It produces an abundant amount of sweet shiny peppers that curve slightly resembling the shape of a bull’s horn. Peppers start off green and mature into a brilliant deep red. Peppers average between 20-25 cm (8-10”) long and get quite thick at the shoulders; 6-8 cm (2½-3”) wide. Very sweet, crisp and flavorful. Plants are extremely productive and become quite heavily laden with peppers and should be staked and tied. Plant height averages around 41-61 cm (16-24”) tall, but can achieve 91 cm (3’) under ideal growing conditions.

Additional Information:
Corno di Toro is a sweet pepper type that is fairly low maintenance and quite easy to grow, as long as a level of basic care is provided throughout the year. Use a good pair of scissors or snippers to cut the peppers from the bush. Picking them off usually will result in breaking off branches. To prolong a pepper harvest, cut peppers from the plant regularly. Peppers are susceptible to rot, blossom end rot, anthracnose, tobacco mosaic virus, bacterial spot, and mildew. Keep these in check and rotate pepper crops to different areas. Plant disease-resistant varieties. Keep the garden clean and free of weeds where pests and diseases can shelter. Destroy and dispose of infected plants before disease can spread. Aphids, cutworms, and flea beetles are common pests for most garden plants and there are a variety of techniques and solutions for these, including a mild soap spray and the use of a water stream to remove aphids. Pepper seeds can be dipped in a dilute hydrogen peroxide mix (1 tsp hydrogen peroxide per cup water) for one minute to disinfect seeds prior to planting- this process helps get rid of any unwanted or potential bacterial or fungi that may be hitch hiking on your seeds. If your soil or seed sprouting setup is susceptible to mold growth this can be useful to kill mold spores. |
