How many jalapenos do you get from one plant?

Depending on the variety, the size of the peppers varies from 2 to 3.5 inches and the color of the fruit is typically red or green during ripening. You might get about 30 to 40 jalapeno peppers per plant.

Do jalapeno plants keep producing?

Jalapeno plants best grow in hardiness zones 9 to 11 of the U.S Department of Agriculture. Jalapeno plants typically die back after harvesting in late fall; however, in areas with year-round warm temperatures, the plant will continue to produce, like in the tropical region where it thrives naturally.
