Abeytas

Elongated, slightly tapered, red pepper. Good, slightly sweet flavor with mild to medium heat. Very tough, smooth skin has a touch of corking. Makes a delicious hot sauce. Some variability in fruit size and color is not surprising given its landrace status in New Mexico. Most fruit ripen green>red but a few plants have waxy yellow immature fruit that ripen to a reddish-orange. Fruit 3.5-5 inches long, 1-1.5 inches wide. Plants 2.5-3 feet tall. Moderately productive. Mid season. SSE Accession # 117213
