This pepper is believed to be an accidental Ancho Mulato cross. The result is a large, mild Jalapeno that ripens to brown. The pods have a subtle smoky, sweet flavor with mild heat. This is a hot pepper with small fruits less than 3 inches long. The fruits ripen from green to fire red.
Planting/Harvesting Notes
- Plant in full sun and well draining soil
- Space plants 18 to 24 inches apart
- Matures in 75-90 days
Seed Saving
To save seed, allow the pepper to turn brown on the plant, then harvest, cut the pepper, scrape out the seeds and dry on a flat surface such as a screen, paper plate or baking sheet. Allow to dry for 1-2 weeks and then store in a paper envelope.
