I have grown poblano peppers for several years and consistently have amazing results. I purchased plants that were started locally in a greenhouse by a commercial grower. There was no specific variety named, just "Tasty Poblano." Lost 1 plant to too much rain but the remaining 5 produced over a bushel of peppers. Plants need to be staked as they grow about 2-1/2 feet tall. Flesh is firm with a beautiful deep green shine. Most of our crop gets roasted and stuffed to make Chile Rellenos, which freeze beautifully. We did freeze some peppers "unstuffed" for other use. Great peppers, not terribly spicy but wonderful flavor. They require very little care and like lots of sun. Irregular shape is common, not an indication of a problem.

Plant grew 36-40". Dark green heart-shaped misshapened fruits. Didn't produce alot, maybe because it was partially shaded. Mild flavor.
