Super hot jalapeno

[mdvpc]

I have noticed in the last 3 years that the seed I have bought for Jalapeno has been producing fruit that is less and less hot. My seed has come from 3 different vendors. I have also noticed that the fruit is getting smaller over the past 3 years. The jalapeno I have this year is very mild in heat.

My wife came back from Mexico yesterday after seeing her mother and father and brought back some Jalapeno's that her mom got for me. These are big, about 2 ounces and super hot. I mean super hot! I saved seed from one I used on a pizza last night and am going to grow it out next spring. Hopefully its not a hybrid.

Here is a photo of the fruit she brought back for me last night.

Has anyone else noticed that the fruit is getting smaller and milder?
