I'm growing these this year (thanks tomato ) and am adding this as these 2 plants are unbelievable... there is probably 20 to 25 peppers on each plant and they are all maturing at the same rate... yes, all the peppers on these plants are mostly the same size and coloring up at the same time???

That is typical of the variety as developed by wildgardenseeds. I really like the early maturity and huge crop. www.wildgardenseed.com/

Stocky Red Roaster just made my list for 2016. Thanks. Maybe it will do OK up north.

I literally laughed out loud when I read "Maybe it will do OK up north." Paul, it was developed in the cool maritime climate of northern Oregon which is a bit chillier than yours. It won't do OK. It will do FANTASTIC. You have to get to zone 3 and above to crimp SRR's style.

That answers that. Stocky Red Roaster will be in the 2016 pepper garden. Thanks. And northern Oregon is where I grew up so that makes it even better. Oregon spring was at the end of the wet season but warmer than Nebraska earlier. (I used to start mowing lawns in late Feb-early March), summers, if I remember, were warm and dry where we have hot and humid. I just hope my extremes will be OK.

paulf, I don't know if this helps but I have had some heat indexes here over 100f. for days in a row and they kept producing.
