Overview
Autopick is an open-pollinated jalapeno bred by F.C. and N.A. Elliott for machine harvest, with a trait that home gardeners appreciate too: the stem stays behind on the plant when you pull the fruit. Plants grow to about 2 1/2 feet and bear conical fruit 3 to 4 inches long that ripen from light green to red. It is a hot pepper aimed at salsa, with green fruit at around 65 days from transplanting. Released in 1999 with plant variety protection.
