Overview
Española Improved Chile is a medium-hot New Mexico-style chile bred for short seasons. The tapered fruit is 4 to 6 inches long with thin walls, dark green at first and ripening to red. Green chile is ready at around 70 days from transplanting, earlier than most long chiles, which makes it a good pick where summers are brief. Thin walls also mean it dries easily for red chile.
