How to Grow Sugar Rush Peach Stripey from Seed
The striped sport of Sugar Rush Peach: the same remarkable peachy sweetness, with red streaks running through the ripe fruit.
Sugar Rush Peach Stripey is the striped sport of Sugar Rush Peach, the Welsh-bred aji from Chris Fowler, carrying the same remarkable peachy sweetness with red streaking through the ripe fruit. It is as handsome as it is useful.
Heat follows its parent: sellers quote 50,000 to 100,000 Scoville units, though no lab test has been published and many growers find it milder in practice. It is every bit as vigorous as its parent, so give it height, support and a long season under cover.
