Anaheim Chili Pepper (78 days)

The name "Anaheim" is said to have come about when a farmer named Emilio Ortega brought these seeds to the Anaheim, California, area in the early 1900s.  The 1913 Fairview Seed Co. catalog calls it a "recent introduction".

Anaheim Chilies are prolific bearers, of long thin fruits about 6" long.   Mildly hot, people use them in roasting, stuffing, stews, sauces or raw.  Organic plants grow 20-30" and bear late in the season.
