Description
Description

The Big Jim Pepper is the world’s largest pepper variety, with a fruit that can grow to 14" or longer. Typically in the 6"-10" range, these wide, tapered summer icicles grow on compact plants and ripen from lime green to smoky crimson. Sweet and flavorful with a pleasurable crackle of heat. When roasted or grilled, the thick skin slips off easily, leaving tender, juicy, meaty flesh. If you do grow a Jim that needs a tape measure, fill one full of ham and havarti or crab and cream cheese, and feed your entire family plus a neighbor kid.

Customer Reviews
Got these on sale in my last order. I am expecting some really nice chili peppers from this seed.
very good germination for a hot pepper, big strong plants that bear several fruits---but heat is not consistent between plants of same package. some have almost no heat and some are about normal even when plants are grown side by side in same bed. I do love them though!!!
I orderd Big Jim seed three times from seeds now, had great germination the first time, the second time I had zero germination I thought it was a fluke, and the third time I also had zero germination. Too bad because they were great peppers.
the seeds were in the pack so i guess it is great.
Only 8 plants alive out of all those seeds.
Not even a single one germinated. Seeded twice: first time in the pit pods on 02/24/2018 and a second time in a wet paper towel on 03/19/2018. NOTHING.
A very good seed bank for Big Jim at the time of review. Big hearty seeds, high and fast germination, very strong looking seedlings.
We just have to see how they will sprout when the time comes
Excellent Service!!!
I put tomatoes, okra and peppers , but only tomatoes and okra did , only 1 out of 10 pepper germinated, will wait for few more days.
