Overview
Guantanamo is a Stokes cubanelle hybrid with long, smooth, tapered fruit of about 7 1/2 inches (185 mm) that end in a blunt tip. The two- to three-lobed pods are lime green, ripening to red, and very sweet. First fruit arrive around 60 days from transplant. Cubanelle types have thin walls, which suits frying and quick roasting, and the green stage is the classic one for sautéing. Let some redden for a sweeter, softer pepper.
