Description
It looks like a jalapeño and even tastes like a jalapeño, but the Fresno pepper has a few tricks up its sleeve that makes it a very popular chili in its own right. It delivers a slightly spicier medium heat (2,500 to 10,000 Scoville heat units), often like a mild serrano chili, and in its mature red form, the Fresno pepper has a more complex fruitier, smokier taste than a jalapeño. This is a favourite for foodies looking for a twist on the norm. Fresno chilies were first cultivated in 1952 by Clarence Brown Hamlin, and he named the chili after Fresno, California. Thick, fleshy, bullet shaped hot pepper, 6 x 2.5 cm. Ripens from green to red, with a smooth skin and medium thick flesh. Good flavour, medium hot. Growing Instructions: Plant in final situation when plants are 4in high, 18in apart. Outdoor crops – acclimatise plants to outdoor conditions before planting in sunny, fertile, moist, well drained soil, after all risk of frost. After Care: Feed plants weekly with a tomato fertiliser once first fruits have set. Supplied in 9cm growers pot.
