Grow Your Own Fiery Chile de Arbol Seeds
Bring the bold heat and smoky depth of authentic Mexican cuisine to your garden with Chile de Arbol Seeds. These fiery peppers are a staple in Mexican kitchens, prized for their intense spice and versatile uses from salsas and sauces to decorative wreaths. With a Scoville rating of 15,000–30,000, they pack a punch that will delight heat seekers.
Why Choose Chile de Arbol Seeds?
Originating in Chihuahua, Mexico, these heirloom peppers are as ornamental as they are flavorful. Their slender, pendant-shaped fruits mature from light green to a vibrant dark red, making them a stunning addition to any garden. Each plant grows vigorously, reaching over 4 feet tall, resembling a small tree laden with fiery treasures.
Versatile Culinary Uses
Whether you dry them for decorations, grind them into spice rubs, or puree them into zesty sauces, Chile de Arbol peppers elevate every dish. Toast whole pods to infuse oils with smoky heat or add them to vinegar for a bold kick. Their versatility makes them a must-have for home cooks and chefs alike.

Loved growing my own chili Arbol peppers, great germination and high production zone 7
The plants are growing and thriving . We are waiting for the peppers to grow.
Great service with good quality seeds. Highly reccomended.
These have such great flavor and are easy to grow in Colorado. The plant was bushy with lots of chiles, and they dried easily (even right on the plant) so now I have a jar of them in the cabinet for use year round in salsas, burritos, tacos, stews, you name it. Thanks for the fast shipping of the seeds earlier this spring, they germinated quickly and grew into robust plants.
I make Chile de Arbol Salsa for my family and friends - everyone loves the smoky flavor and heat. The pods dry quickly for easy storage, so I also add them to dishes all winter. Your seeds always have good germination and the plants grew healthy and provided a lot of pods. These are a standard in our salsa garden!
