The Big Jim chile is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the producer of the largest Chile pods ever grown, with specimens in excess of a foot long (12 inches) not unknown. Plants grow easily and vigorously and are surprisingly small in comparison to the gigantic pods growing between 24" to 36" high. Up to 30 pods may grow on a single plant which ripen from green to a deep red approximately 80 days after transplanting seedlings. Big Jim is perfect for making decorative “ristras” as well as the classic (and very tasty) chile relleno dish. These are excellent peppers for culinary delights.
