The MayFord Long Slim Cayenne Hot Pepper is a vigorous, heat-loving variety, widely appreciated for its intense spice level and versatility. It is best sown directly in seed beds or trays, with seeds placed at a depth of 10 cm, ensuring proper moisture retention and germination success.
Plants require an initial spacing of 80 cm between rows, while seedlings should be transplanted at a height of 45 cm, ensuring a final spacing of 80 cm apart for optimal fruit development. Regular moisture maintenance is crucial throughout the growth cycle.
Harvest occurs approximately 75 days after planting, yielding long, tapered peppers that transition from dark green to bright red as they mature. The fruits are ideal for fresh use or drying, offering a potent heat level and rich flavor, making them a staple in spicy dishes and seasonings.
