This has been listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the world's largest chile. It is a cultivated version of the New Mexican chile that was developed in 1975, by Dr Nakayama at NMSU, to be a huge, medium-heat chile produced on a disease-resistant plant. At first it was the size of a banana, but it soon became available at about 30.5 cm long, and recent specimens have been reported at 43 cm. 80 days to maturity. Although the major drawback to this cultivar is the variability in pungency. Plant to plant variation in pungency is quite great. Ours tend to be sweeter than hot.
