Fresno Chile Pepper
25 Seeds
Although first released back in the 1950s, this delicious chile pepper is enjoying a resurgence in popularity. The Fresno chili was developed by California farmer and seed merchant Clarence "Brownie" Hamlin and was named after the county in which he resided. It bears an appearance and heat level similar to a jalapeno but has thinner walls and smoother skin when mature. Chefs appreciate the smoky, slightly fruity texture that the Fresno pepper takes on when cooked and will frequently grill or roast slices before adding them pizzas, sauces, or sandwiches. The compact, 24-inch-tall plants are easy to grow and yield well under a variety of conditions making Fresno the perfect variety for the beginning gardeners. Harvests begin approximately 70 days after transplant. Each packet contains a minimum of 25 seeds.
