Description
“Extremely early ripening, low growing, low-Scoville hot pepper. Exhibits red fruit, approximately 4″ long. Grown as a landrace, without significant interventions. Some variability, especially in grown habit, is evident.
From my website: Pancho and Lefty’s parentage includes Chimayo, Jimmy Nardello, Matan, Aleppo, and possibly more. This is a genetically diverse swarm, slightly shifting from year to year according to my selections. Thin fleshed, hot, sweet productive, and extremely early to ripen and flower – as early as 45 days from transplant for red chiles. These dry nicely and make a beautiful powder. Expect some variety in plant and fruit size and shape with these..”
