Zapotec? What is this pepper?
1 Attachment(s)
Growing some "Zapotec" jalapenos from seed swap last year and the seeds germinated fine, grew and were transplanted into a 5 gallon bucket and doing well. Plant is prolific with loads of peppers, some going red at a small size and a few growing larger then red.
I've grown hot peppers for a few decades and don't think these are a jalapeno. Mildly hot with not too many seeds and ribs inside. Any ideas on what this "Zapotec" pepper is? Strange growing plant, spindly and leggy, not stout like a normal pepper plant. |
While I've never personally grown them, the photo you posted doesn't look like examples of Zapotec Jalapeno I've seen posted elsewhere.
They look like a bit like a Pablano-type to me. |
Could well be a cross if home saved swap seeds unless blooms were protected

Doesn't look like a keeper.

Zapotec Jalapeno
Hi,
I have grown the Zapotec and found it to be a medium sized jalapeno (traditional shaped) and very flavorful. Beth Boyd deserves the credit for discovering and popularizing this pepper. Read through these posts and your will see the story.
