Overview
Tiburon is Sakata's F1 poblano, bred for extra-large, uniform, thick-fleshed fruit. Pods are very dark green at about 65 days and ripen red near 85, with mild pungency. The big, sturdy plant frame holds the heavy fruit clear of the ground. Mid-season maturity. Use the large green pods for chiles rellenos, where size and thick flesh pay off, and dry the red ones for ancho.
