Peppers of this variety are very high quality and productive. The variety is mid-ripening (mid-early) in terms of fruit ripening. During ripening, peppers have a light green color, which at the time of full ripeness turns into rich red.

The bushes grow sprawling, low, up to 60 centimeters high. The stem is green, with a slight violet-brown pigmentation.

Once my friends recommended the Ryabinushka variety to me.Seeing the shrub on the packaging, which is already very exotic in appearance, I immediately decided to buy one pack from Aelita. It seemed to me that the peppers on the bush look very beautiful, which means they will look even better in a jar of pickles!

The seeds are very small, sowing, I thought that half would be lost. However, the seedlings rose amicably and quickly enough. And pepper quickly bloomed with small lilac and white flowers. It turned out that from one bag, two types of pepper were obtained: some peppercorns grew cone-shaped and very small. In the stage of technical ripeness, the peppers, which grew no more than two centimeters in length, were pale yellow. And when ripe, they were painted red. Also obtained were round peppers, balls, which when ripe were purple, and then turned orange. In their appearance, they really resembled in some way mountain ash fruits. I grew peppers in the open ground.

I always buy different varieties of hot pepper, bushes 5-6, no more. In principle, I grow them for more pampering. So, according to my observations, I realized that hot peppers should grow only in the sun, because in the shade they are not the same sharp and spicy. If you constantly keep them in a lack of lighting, then it ripens longer, and there is almost no stickiness. Therefore, for the sake of seasoning, I plant two or three bushes directly in the sun, and the rest in the shade, so that they can be added to salads and then run with a “burning mouth”.

Planted peppers Indian Spear - a very good variety, and most importantly fruitful. Planted seeds for seedlings in March immediately in peat cups. The bushes grew very amicably, such strong, powerful. I was even afraid that they would become cramped, and did not have time to transplant them into the ground. However, everything went smoothly. The seedlings carried the transportation superbly.

Peppers bloomed very abundantly, and in July it was already harvesting. There are a lot of pods on the bush. All are of the same shape and about 7-10 grams in weight. I was pleased that these peppers are easy to care for, you just need to water and yes weed. She didn’t even add fertilizers, so the peppers tied the fruit well. In general, a good grade. The next year I have already collected my seeds, let's see what grows.
