Biker Billy is an OK producer, never had a plant "loaded" with peppers like some others. Jalefuego is supposedly the "best" producer and also 4 inch peppers and very disease resistant.
I am now wondering why I did not see this one when I was purchasing my seed from them earlier this year:
Even bigger (5 inch) and hotter (17,000 SHU) - says heavy yields too.

Edit:
Could not resist, had to order it - even if the jalamundo is 50% of the advertised SHU it sounds like the perfect jalapeño popper pepper (for me). I ordered it with another super hot and a couple of sweets that I wanted to try which brings me up to about 35 pepper varieties to grow this year. Going to need another raised bed or two.
