  • Datil Peppers
    Hort - 3 Gardening with Datil Peppers Terra Freeman Urban and Commercial Horticulture Agent UF/IFAS Extension St. Johns County Datil Pepper History and Use While the exact origin of the datil pepper is unknown, local legend says it was brought to Florida from Spain by Minorcans. A rich cultural history surrounds this unique fruit in the St. Augustine area, which is known for its Minorcan heritage and cuisine. It is popularly made into hot sauces, jellies, relishes, barbeque sauces and mustards, among other cuisine. With a heat index that matches the habanero at around 100,000 to 300,000 units on the Scoville scale, the datil pepper certainly has a kick! Gardening with Datil Pepper Plants The datil pepper plant, Capsicum sinense, produces relatively small peppers ranging from ½ to 4 inches long. The bright yellow-orange fruit varies from spherical to oblong in shape, and possesses a unique sweet, fruity tang in addition to its spicy flavor. Gardening practices for datil pepper plants are similar to those of other hot and mild peppers. Seeds require warm soil temperatures (75 – 80 degrees F) for germination to be successful and can be started indoors in the late winter and transplanted after danger of frost has ceased. A second crop can be sown midsummer for an early fall planting. Sow seeds ¼ inch deep in a sterile potting media, then place in a warm environment out of direct sunlight. Keep soil moist, but not wet, while patiently waiting 10 to 20 days for germination to take place. Once seeds have germinated, move them to a sunny location.
