Overview
Biker Billy is a Burpee F1 jalapeno (1999) named after a television chili cook, and an All-America Selections winner. The pods are long for a jalapeno, about 90 mm and 50 mm at the shoulder, green ripening to a cayenne red, with strong heat even at the green stage. Harvest begins around 66 days. Plants are vigorous and productive; start seed 8 to 10 weeks before the last frost and transplant into warm soil. Red fruit is a little sweeter. Good for salsa, pickling and stuffing where a bigger jalapeno is handier.
