The Jalapeño is one of the earliest peppers that was cultivated and grown for its flavor and heat. This thick-walled, 3 inch cone-shaped fruit ripens to a beautiful red and is hottest when fully ripe. Compact, non-brittle bushes grow to 24 inches tall and are an early producer. The name Jalapeño is Spanish for "from Xalapa", the capital city of Veracruz, Mexico.
