    I think and hope they're probably Fresno, which I've not yet grown. Another possibility is Serenade F1. Anyone confident about identifying them?
    I'm not going to try identifying them. Specially as I've never grown either of the potential suspects.
    Is there much difference between them flavour or heat wise ? Could you be a little more confident in identifying after tasting?
    Either way you've got to give them a go

      The fresno we grew were more rounded at the tip, like a jalapeno and the stub left over from the flower was slightly offset. Hope this helps

          Plant 12A

          I'm guessing the original variety was an F1, as there was some variety in the 4 plants that I grew. Some were milder, some were larger, some ripened to red, others only to a chocolate colour, but they were all typically larger than an average jalapeno.

          The pictures show fruits from the F2 plants.

          Update: If anybody wants any F3 seeds from these Jalapenos, I could offer them as part of my Seed Offer.
          Was thinking this was the Tesco Special, but then looked again and it is the wrong shape...

          Back to scratching head.

            It's not a Jalapeno. Is it nearly black in colour? I think I know what this one is, and I'm glad you've got one of these. It's very rare, and it's not one I've offered in my Seed Offer list yet.

            If I'm guessing right, it will be a sweet pepper which will ripen from black to a dramatic dark red

              Good call on you. So best not to pick it then

                You can see from the picture on the packet the fruit is green and red peppers....

                Does anyone have experience of growing these? Will they turn deep red like these below and I should leave them and wait.

                With no experience of sweet peppers not sure what to do.
