Madame Jeanette-(Capsicum chinense)-The Madame Jeanette peppers comes to us from the country of Surinam located in the northern region of South America. The chiles have a twisty shape to them with ribbing folds similar to some Caribbean habanero types. The width and length vary with each pepper, but they can average close to an inch wide and over 2 inches long. The Madame Jeanette chiles ripen from green to yellow and have citrus floral flavor tones with some degree of sweetness. The heat level is close to a medium habanero level. The Madame Jeanette chile plants 2 to 3 feet tall and are very productive
