Long Stripey Baccatum Cream

Long Stripey Baccatum Cream is a modern baccatum hybrid line circulating in the specialist seed trade as an F3 selection. The exact-name public listing currently available places it in Matt's Peppers' 2026 catalogue and states that the seed came from Mike's Pepper Seeds' garden. That listing also records the line's origin story directly from Mike, describing it as coming from a red long baccatum seed from a random volunteer plant that appeared in the garden, with suspected background from Inca Red Drop or Big Inca Red Drop, which makes it a recent discovered garden hybrid rather than an older heirloom or landrace.

Its current public identity sits within the same long baccatum line as Mike's Red Long Baccatum and Long Peach Baccatum selections. Those related line descriptions describe finger-shaped fruit about 7.5 to 10.0 cm long, green foliage, slow ripening, thick dense flesh, and a sweet fruity flavour with tropical notes such as mango and citrus. In the cream-striped form, the colour profile aligns most closely with the peach line, which is described as ripening from pale green or almost creamy to light peach, with some fruit developing red stripes or speckles as they mature.

In flavour and heat, the related Mike's Pepper Seeds long baccatum lines are described as sweet, crunchy, tropical, and around 10,000 SHU, which places Long Stripey Baccatum Cream in the mild-to-medium hot baccatum range rather than among superhots. Its appeal in current circulation is built around the unusual cream base colour, striping, elongated pod shape, and the kind of fruity baccatum character that makes these peppers useful for fresh eating as well as for growers interested in unstable or recently selected backyard lines.
