Carpenterlady....Melrose is a shorter, thicker fleshed pepper that gets sweeter when riper...Jimmy Nardello are much longer and thinner fleshed and while very sweet , in my garden they will get some heat too....I love them both and would try to include them both if feasible...

Jimmy Nardello is a taller plant if space is an issue, but more productive than Melrose for me in a normal year...

If ordering from Sandhill try Lemme's for a pepper that falls in between the two you mentioned and was crazy productive on very small plants...
