About
Mildly hot 8 in tapered pepper bred for salsa — thick walls, mild bite (~3,000 SHU).
Growing
Prolific. Plant after all frost danger. Likes warm soil.
Harvest
Pick at 7–8 in long when firm and glossy green, or let it ripen to red for sweeter, hotter flavor. Choose straight, thick-walled pods that feel heavy for their size; cut with shears to avoid snapping the brittle branches.
