(Capsicum annuum)
78 days. Open polinated. Large, productive plant produces loads of mildish hot peppers. Fruits are 7 -8" long, tapered, bright glossy green turning red. Just 900 to 2500 scoville units when green, we like to make mild salsa with these. They are also well known for chili rellenos, grilling, and canning. Very high quality fruits. Bush does best with staking as the heavy load of big peppers pulls it down. Tobacco mosaic virus resistant. Crop failure. Will try again for 2012.
