Wild Brazil Pepper

I recently got some dried Wild Brazil peppers and seeds from ajijoe. I have eaten a lot of hot peppers in my life but this one has one of the most fantastic flavours and pleasant levels of heat I have ever tried. Anyone grow this one? An absolute stunner than I cannot wait to grow myself. Are they difficult to germinate, etc?

Would love to hear others opinions.
 
BE SURE TO USE SOFT SEED STARTER SOIL WITH THIS ONE, THE SEEDS ARE VERY SMALL AND IF THE SOIL IS TO HARD THEY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO PUSH THEMSELVES FREE

THANKS AJIJOE
 
Hey Joe are your seed Wild Brazil the same or related to Cumari Do Para? I got some seed for these a few years ago and growing them finally. I did get to try some small pods my seed came from and cannot wait to try it again. Thanks.
 
I've grown Wild Brazil (aka Cumari) peppers several times and I have to agree with you about their great flavor and good heat level. They are very easy to grow and because they are a bush type pepper they can be grown in containers with any special treatment. The only problem I've ever had with them is that they produce so many pods that I get tired of picking them before I get all the ripe pods off the plant and then I have to do it all again in a day or two.

But, I have to say that it's one of my favorite peppers to grow and I'm growing it again this year.

I grew both varieties last year and do not believe they are the same. I know I have photos of the Cumari but not sure about the "Wild Brazil". I'll have to check later, Damn work thing. I got Cumari do Para from the chiliman off ebay (one of the few good sellers). And the Wild Brazil from Vladen @ Rainbow chile seeds. My Wild Brazil was sort of vertical and 2 feet tall with erect slightly flatened berry shaped pods. The Cumari was a smaller bush plant with loads of oval pods. The Cumari was one of my top 3 last year for flavor and surprise heat vs. size. I overwintered that plant.

I believe Neil Smith posted something last year about his 2 year old accidentally eating one of these and not being to happy about it.

Good day

They are one of the easiest peppers to grow in my opinion. Easy to germinate and very drought tolerant and pest free and they do very well in 100F temps. Like a lot of wild peppers they aren't finicky at all.

The heat is intense, they have a very nice flavor, and are extremely aromatic fresh. Their flavor can be overpowering in food though. You better be sure you want that flavor in whatever you put them in because it's really strong when they're fresh..
 
Got 2 of 'em going! One in a 5 gallon and the other in a 40 gallon container that it shares with a Tepin, Aji Omnicolor and Fish pepper...should look interesting when they all fill in.

The more I read about the wild brazils the more anxious I am to try one. I really like the wild varieties. I am keeping a tepin, pequin and wild brazil outside the kitchen window so I will always have them at arms reach while cooking.
