Jalaro Yellow Jalapeno
The Jalaro Yellow Jalapeno is a unique and delicious variety of jalapeno pepper that has a bright yellow color when it's mature, setting it apart from the more common green jalapenos. It's also slightly sweeter and fruitier than green jalapenos, making it a popular choice for adding flavor and spice to a wide variety of dishes.
Plant Specifications:
These seedlings will mature in about 80 days. These plants make perfect container plants as they only get to 2-3 feet high and up to 2 feet across. Once temperatures dip into the low 50's consistently, you will wind down the plant and take your final harvest. If you pick the pepper when it is still green, it will be less spicy. To get the best flavor, you should wait to pick the jalapeno peppers when they are fully ripened and yellow.
Make sure to plant in nutrient dense soil, especially optimized for growing fruiting plants. You can purchase our magic organic soil and organic amendment soil boosters (micro and macro nutrients in the form of marine-based fertilizers, worm castings, and beneficial fungi) specifically curated for fruiting plants to help improve your soil.
Here are some interesting facts about Jalapeno Peppers:
In terms of heat, the Yellow Jalapeno has a mild to medium level of heat, similar to the green jalapeno. This makes it a great choice for those who want to add some spice to their meals without overwhelming their taste buds.
Yellow Jalapeno peppers can be used in a variety of ways in the kitchen. They can be sliced and added to sandwiches, burgers, or pizzas for a pop of color and flavor. They can also be diced and used in salsas, dips, and marinades for a slightly sweeter and fruitier taste. And for those who love heat, they can even be pickled or canned to enjoy all year round.
- Growing Season: Most fruiting plants have their peak growing season starting in Spring and extending through Fall. They need the warm days and nights to produce fruit.
- Harvest Method: As soon as the plant bears the fruit, harvesting can begin and will continue through the season. Most fruiting plants grow through a season and then are done.
- First Harvest: Fruiting plants take longer to bear fruit and can take 2-3 months to get to a harvesting stage.
- Final Harvest: Occurs at the end of summer and into early Fall for most climates. Some plants, such as strawberries will become dormant in Winter and then pop back into action in the Spring.
- Best Planted Wall Placement: Fruiting plants, like micro-tomatoes and jalapenos, that are smaller can grow on the Planted Wall. Place micro-tomatoes and jalapenos that grow in the Planted Wall near the top so you can maximize sun and warmth during the Summer. Larger fruiting plants are intended to be grown in larger grow pots (i.e. 15 gallon pots)
Most fruiting plants prefer warmer temperatures and will be dormant or grow very slowly in mild winter climates.
You want to be aware of the extreme temperature ranges in your region. If you follow the guidelines below, you will be safe:
COLD CLIMATES
- If you live in a location where the temperatures dip below freezing, then you will want to wait to grow fruiting plants until night temperatures are in the 50's consistently.
WARM CLIMATES:
- If you live where it reaches above 90 degrees consistently, you'll want to grow heat tolerant fruiting plants (tomatoes and peppers) and herbs (basil, mint, rosemary) primarily.
To find out what extreme temperatures your location experiences, check out the USDA zone for your region.
