I would say its quite difficult as the names are used both to define a group of chilies and certain cultivars. As a pod shape / group of chilies both falls in to the category of Wax Types / Yellow Wax - including both a shorter "fatty" version fairly thick fleshed creamy yellow /light green...

Besides a few wilds and pubescens mainly ornamentals as Black Pearl, Peruvian purple, Bolivian Rainbow, Christmas Pepper, Black Prince. Plus the Czechoslovakian Black and the Hungarian Black Pepper. Are the flowers all purple or with white? /Jadia :)

Hi Johnaton Holland provides the most fresh chilies to the marked in Europe - and there is extensive research and work from both official and breeders beeing done developing cultivars/hybrids which have a large yield, are quick from seed to fruit, that have "standard measurement", have a long...

It looks like the cultivar being sold as "Dutch chili" in Denmark - i.e. F1 Dutch Red, or simply Red Dutch and often just labelled chili in the supermarkeds as it was the "first" that appeared commercially at least in Nothern Europe. /Jadia :)

I do not disagree that The Yucutan Peninsula is the largerst producer of Habaneros in Mexico, but there is a fair share of cultivation of habaneros on the West Coast of Mexico as well. This picture is from the latest travel log I have from the West coast from a 25 ha habenero and Serrano field...

The real original habanero .. there's a topic worth days of dicussion :) As a chili head I agree, that the "Orange Habanero", which I believe you are refering too as a cultivar with a quite clear description of the phenotype, have been selected and bred though out generations after generation...

Just saw this topic and all though I have the out most respect for Dave DeWitt and his knowledge, I'm going to take my chances and argue the opposite :) To me it seems very unlikely that the intrepertation of "DECLARATORIA GENERAL DE PROTECCION DE LA DENOMINACION DE ORIGEN "CHILE HABANERO DE LA...

+ 1 Harry :) Some cultivars tolerate water stress better than others - but even though water deficiency will have an overall negative effect on both the growth, root system, the number of fruits pr. plant, the lenght, size and weight of the fruit - especially if the deficiency occurs during the...

Nor am I a professional grower, but I had a similar question some time ago.. This was what I found in the litterature/research on capsicum (sorry in advance for my English): In a study by Odland and Porter they found natural cross polination was between 7.6 – 36.8 % with an avarage of...

It's quite difficult to say, since most features are controlled by several genes in chilies and some by mutations in genes. But highly simplified here are some: - Heat is dominant to no heat - Red pods are dominant to orange and yellow - In crosses with chinense (normally 2-4 flowers pr. node)...

Excellent :) I would add: 2.a Night temp to high over 24-25 celcius, must be around 76-77F and in my experience also: 12. Introducing plants to new environments. Almost all my plants have been dropping flowers when moved inside (or outside without hardening), and the maturation paused for...

Thank you all for your answers, input and welcome greetings :) We will assume it is a bhut*orange hab. Wayright, you got me a bit worried now ;). It would be a shame if F3 reverted back. The orange colour and the heat are two features we would like to stabilize. Among with the shorter time...

Hi to all from the cold north I have been following this forum for a long time quietely, but now it is time for my first post. A friend of mine was supposed to grow Bhut Jolokia, but some cross pollination has occured. The F1 generation produced all red pods. Some elongated both with and...
