The Fresno Chili pepper is a popular mild chili developed in the 1950's by Fresno, California farmer and seed merchant Clarence "Brownie" Hamlin. Fresno peppers bear 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. At just 24 inches tall, Fresno pepper 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. Show more
