| I chose this variety as my first review on this site because it has been my best performer across all crops. It has been consistently productive for 3 years now, and the peppers are great for stuffing and grilling when we tailgate for football. They vary quite a bit in terms of how hot they are in our experience, but they taste great. |

| tomatogrowers.com. I planted two in pots, two in the garden. Surprised how well they performed in the pots. Garden and pots produced early fruits and remained heavy through the season. Much hotter than I expected, and will use them again. |

| This jalapeno does it all - healthy plant, heavy producer, relatively large fruit. I roast the outside skin to blacken with a map gas torch and throw them whole in a freezer bag and freeze. Take them out as needed and run under water to remove the skin and thaw. |

| I have grown this variety for several years in Northern Wisconsin. It consistently produces large crops of large-sized, thick walled peppers that are moderately hot and have excellent flavor. This is a great pickling jalapeno since the slices maintains a nice crunch after the canning process. |

| This is the best jalepeno variety that I have ever grown. It produces large quantities of large, heavy fruit. The flavor is good and slightly hotter than many smaller fruited varieties. I have grown it for more than 5 years with guaranteed success. With a short north country growing season, I rarely get red peppers, but I get lots of 4" long by 1.5" wide, thick-flesshed peppers for making salsa. They are prone to some netting and darkening from our cool nights and hot days of August, and unreliable rains. This is only cosmetic. |

| Obtained 6 plants from Totally Tomatoes in late May 2006. Planted Memorial Day Weekend. Initially slow to grow, the plants were flowering by early July and started setting fruit shortly thereafter. Plants are above 16 inches tall and multi stemmed (pinched tops in mid June). The plants have set 8 - 13 fruit each. Fruit are green with some black coloration. It's mid August and the peppers have not yet started turning red.
Flavor is very good and typical of jalapeno peppers; the peppers are hotter with seeds and ribs, flavor is much milder when they are removed. Perfect for fresh salsa because the heat can be adjusted.
Plants were planted in loamy sand with about 3 - 5 inches of compost deeply dug into drip irrigated raised beds. The beds have about 9 - 10 hours of direct sunlight per day at mid summer. Growing conditions this year are typical of northwestern Nevada summers, with warm days and nights cooling off to the mid 50's. Insects have not bothered this variety. |
