Developed by the Texas Agriculture Extension Service in 1992, this open-pollinated Jalapeño begins yellow, maturing to orange and finally turning red, if left on the plant long enough. Vigorous compact 24" plants, perfect for containers, yielding an abundance of 2" long, thick-walled peppers.
The size of the fruit is similar to the standard Jalapeño, but not as blocky. Heat and taste are also similar, but Jaloro has a slight fruity finish. 5,000 - 25,000 SHU depending on what stage you pick them.
Pollination occurs by insect, bird, wind, humans, or other natural mechanisms. Because there are no restrictions on the flow of pollen between individuals, open-pollinated plants are more genetically diverse. However, as long as pollen is not shared between different varieties within the same species, then the seed produced will remain true-to-type year after year.
