Caballero Ancho Pepper

Description

(65 days green, 84 days red ripe) F-1 hybrid. This Caballero gallantly galloped up to replace Tiburon. These relatively mild hot peppers have a perfect balance of heat and sweet rich flavor in their thick flesh and ribs. Known as Poblanos when green and Anchos when dried, they are used for roasting, stuffing, making chili powder and sauces, especially the classic mole. Large uniform glossy very dark green 3-lobed elongated fruit (3½–5″ long x 3″ wide) with a recessed stem will mature to a deep brick red. Extremely productive in northern climates, the 3½’ tall plants set 12–20 fruits per plant. Staking may be necessary. Approx. 1800 Scoville units.
