Jalapeno M peppers produce pungent, thick-walled, and juicy dark green peppers, each measuring 8 cm (3") long and 2 cm (1") wide with a blunt end. These peppers set well on medium-sized plants that grow to 60–90 cm (24–36") tall.
 
For late-season peppers, pull up the plant and hang it in a dry spot to allow the remaining green peppers to ripen to a deep red. Use the green peppers fresh for eating, pickling, or making sauces, and dry the red ones to create chipotle peppers.
 
With a heat range of 2,000–5,000 SHUs, Jalapeno M is ideal for patio growing and works well in 3–5-gallon containers.
