I wish I could grow them here, but I'm not sure they would make it, even in a greenhouse. In my experience the smaller ones are hotter, as are those later in the season. I'm not sure if it has to do with the maturity of the pepper or something else. If you want to tone down the heat, it is mostly located in the white part of the pepper. On the few occasions where I want less heat, like eating them raw, I tend to remove any part of them that isn't red. Interesting.

Seriously. My girlfriend and I are growing these and we just tried an immature one to see what it's like... I'd read elsewhere on the Interwebs that Fresno's are just like jalepeños, maybe a little hotter, but I've NEVER had a jalepeño come close to the burn that these guys carry. And they're not even ripe yet. “…something that gives a habanero a run for its money.”
