Sweet Banana Sweet Pepper is a delight that's aptly named for its banana shape. These elongated, 6 in. peppers turn scarlet when fully ripe and are delicious in salads. They are exquisitely pungent when pickled with no bitter aftertaste. Sweet Banana is famous for its amazing yields. While the fruits can be harvested when yellow, their sweetness increases as they remain on the plant.
