Peppers

PEPPER (HOT)
Jamaican

If you like it hot, this one's for you. The plant, if grown with proper care, can reach five feet in height. These lantern-like peppers grow under the leaves, and when ripe mature from deep orange to fiery red. Similar to the habanero, only Pepper Joe's is bigger, better and yields more. The Jamaican has a great flavor without the aftertaste of the habanero. Great to freeze and enjoy all winter long.
