Description
Chilli Name: THAI TIERSCH
Chilli Species: Annuum
Chilli Origin: Thailand
Chilli Heat: Hot
Thai Tiersch is a Thai-type Capsicum annuum associated with upright-fruiting chilli forms, likely maintained as a named grower or collector line rather than a formally standardised cultivar. It is valued for its productive habit and distinctive plant characteristics.
Pods are slender, elongated, and typically around 10 cm long and narrow in width. They are borne erect on the plant and ripen from green to red. The fruits have thin walls, making them suitable for both fresh use and drying.
Flavour is sharp and direct with a strong heat typical of Thai chillies, placing it in the Hot category. It is suitable for use in stir-fries, sauces, and drying.
Plants are medium-sized, reaching approximately 90 cm in height and spreading to around 75 cm. A notable feature is the presence of fine white hairs on the stems, distinguishing it from many standard Thai types. Plants are productive, carrying numerous upright fruits over the season.
No formal breeder or commercial release information is documented for Thai Tiersch. It appears to represent a maintained selection or named line rather than a widely standardised variety.
Germination temperature 28–30 °C. See our Water and Feed Guides for advise.
Chilli Seeds Qty is 5 per pack unless stated.
