Gardeners who have grown to love Big Chile will love Sahuaro. While Sahuaro may be be a little difficult to spell, it is easier to grow. The plant is strong and hardy, offering improved leaf coverage (keeping fruit from getting sun-burnded). Sahuaro (like Big Chile) offers early maturity at 68 days; impressive yield; and large fruit size. The thick walled fruit are great for roasting and offer just a little heat at about 500 scoville units. Resistant to PMMV.
