Cayenne Long Slim is an open-pollinated hot pepper variety known for its early maturity, high pungency, and adaptability. The plants are medium-tall and vigorous, bearing pendant, cylindrical fruits that measure approximately 10–15 cm in length and 1 cm in diameter. Fruits mature from medium green to bright red, with a thin wall and smooth to slightly wrinkled skin, making them ideal for drying, grinding, or fresh use. With a germination period of 15–18 days and maturity in 75–80 days, this variety is well-suited for home gardens and open-field production. Seeds are chemically treated with Thiram and hermetically sealed for seasonal freshness. Not intended for food, feed, or processing.
