Can anyone help identify this pepper? The nursery said they were giant jalapeño, but it looks like a banana pepper. Any help is appreciated!

Looks like banana or hungarian wax depending on size and heat. Side note that is the pepper i pull off immediately so the plant grows more before it puts all its energy into peppers.

I think it’s Hungarian wax peppers. I’m growing some this year but so far a critter has chomped into the ones that were ready. I have a bunch more in various stages. I have been letting them ripen to red in the vine. I heard they’d be sweeter.

Same exact thing happened to us! I posted yesterday with an identical pepper from our “jalapeño” plant and we received the same consensus. Good peppers but was really hoping for jalapeños.

Thanks for the help everyone! And for the person who downvoted, I am a pepper newbie, thought there was a chance it would start turning dark green

My nursery sold me two mislabeled plants this season: my sweet bananas were actually Hungarian wax and my black krim tomatoes turned out to be small, red tomatoes.

Our Hungarian wax seeds this year turned out to be a really spicy jalepeño. And I have a jalapeño plant with peppers that are too pointed at the end and that are growing with the end pointing up to the sky… no clue what it is

Also, looks like my sweet gypsy peppers that I’m growing this year. If it has no heat it might be that. Even sweet banana peppers have a little bit of heat.
