Poblano Pepper

This plant for me produces about 10-14 peppers for each wave of peppers, it's July and I'm on my fourth 'wave' now! It was my smallest seedling but first to produce out of my peppers and just keeps on in the 90-100 F temps. The plant is about 3 feet high, still producing blossoms in the heat (feels like 105 here). We've roasted the peppers, stuffed the peppers, chopped them into a fiesta rice mix and all have been scrumptious. I'm also growing Thai, California wonder, cubanelle, giant Marconi and jalape?o peppers. Poblabo and jalape?o go non stop in producing. Fingers crossed it keeps producing well into our Texas fall.

Large plant with lots of peppers going. Has a nice mild flavor. Is doing well in a five gallon felt pot in 100 degree weather. I will plant more next year!

Pleasantly surprised how great they grow in our area! Large, beautiful fleshy fruit. Taste is perfect with a hint of hot. I have roasted them and added in Salsa. My friend made Chili rellenos and loved the perfect flavor! It will be a staple in my Garden. Plant seems pest resistance and like regular watering.

I did not expect these plants to grow so tall. Be sure to plan on a heavy duty stake to support your plants on the north side of the bed. I planted two of these in the garden and by mid-summer, they grew to almost 6 feet and shaded the plants growing on the trellis to the north. I tried counting the number of fruits growing on one plant and lost count after 30. It's my experience that poblanos vary in heat from mild to hot, even on the same plant, but even the hot one are very rich in flavor. I can't wait to try my stuffed jalapeno recipe on some of the smaller ones.

These are great tasting, and also make excellent for stuffing, and of course rellenos! I however started two plants in large planters indoors which got large, and then transplanted in the summer which made very good yields. It takes a long time for these to grow though to get the peppers to a good size. Also when the tree gets pretty large, it can snap because of the weight. However, these are some real good tasting peppers particularly for Mexican food. Great stuff!!
