Pepper - Jalapeño Early - Capsicum annuum

Tender Annual Jalapeño Early is similar to Jalapeño, but is earlier and better adapted to cool conditions. Dark-green, thick-walled, 3" cone-shaped fruits ripen to red. These peppers are hottest when fully ripe (4,000 to 6,000 Scoville units), but can be eaten at their green stage. A perfect pepper for Mexican dishes and pickling.
