It produces thick-walled, cylindrical peppers that measure 9–12 cm in length and weigh 40–60 grams each. The fruits mature from green to a deep red, with a smooth, glossy surface. Known for its high yields, this variety consistently delivers abundant harvests throughout the growing season.

Cultivation Recommendations
Jalapeno Giant thrives in full sun with well-drained, fertile soil. Start seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before the last frost date, maintaining a soil temperature of 24–30°C for optimal germination. Transplant seedlings outdoors when the risk of frost has passed, spacing plants 40–50 cm apart. Regular watering, mulching, and light fertilization will encourage vigorous growth and high yields. Fruits typically mature in 75–85 days after transplanting.
