The “Dagger Pod” is a hot cayenne chili pepper that grows to 4-5 inches long by 1/2 to 3/4 inches wide. It is a long, thin, and pointy, somewhat resembling a dagger - pendant shaped. It is a thin fleshed pepper that starts off green and matures to a vibrant red. It is a mid season pepper, producing pods in 70-80 days. I personally grew these peppers in my garden and can vouch that, yes, it is a very prolific plant producing many, many pods. See How to Dehydrate Chili Pepper to Make Powders.
