    Features

    This jumbo-fruited jalapeno produces a high yield of uniform, dark green, cigar-shaped peppers that mature to 4 to 5 inches long and 1.5 inches in diameter. The fruits’ walls are thick and firm, allowing for a longer holding time after harvesting and making them useful for stuffing, rings, grilling, freezing and canning. The flavor is mild to medium, so it is versatile in a wide variety of recipes. Large fruits are easy to harvest from upright, medium height plants. Good disease resistance to bacterial leaf spot 1-3 and phytophthora makes this spicy pepper a dependable, consistent garden performer.
