Help with Identification

[JAHaworth]

Hello all. I'm sorry if I have put this in the wrong place.
I was wondering if someone could help me identify this pepper that I'm currently growing.

It looks like some sort of habanero. Where did you get the seeds?

Agreed. I have grown many varieties of habs. Maybe a cross? Look at the leaves.

 

[JAHaworth]

I brought it as a seedling from our local plant shop(Palmers). The label says its a Red Habanero. It's just that they look a little different from pics I have seen on the net.

Yeah it does look different... there are TONNES of varieties out there and as many crosses as there are decimals in pi!

the heat and flavour may give it away when its ripened

 

[JAHaworth]

I have never tried them before so I'll just take the labels word for it.
Thanks again.

At a guess but lookking at leafstructure my money on Jamaican red kinda like scotch bonnet but with more pod irregularity. Just a guess but.

Hmmmm............that is an odd one. It's very wide for the most part. You should take a pic of the flower and then of the ripe pod for us. That'll help more for ID-ing it.

 

[JAHaworth]

Will do. I'll grab a photo of a flower soon and I'll have to wait for the ripe one as none are yet.

 

[JAHaworth]

OK!!! I have added a pic of the flower and of a semi ripe pod... Its the closest I have to a ripe one. The other pics are also from the same plant, just completely different shapes.

I was browsing Peppermania the other day, and I noticed that the smooshed peppers in your pictures look a lot like her Congo Trinidads. http://www.peppermania.com/chinense_11.html

Today I notice that you have a lot of pointy ones on the plant, too.

 

[LUCKYDOG]

the pointy one looks like Scorpion or Bents Nerd

 

[stillmanz]

I still think its a Jamaican Red hot all mine have classic pod variance as yours.

 

[fisting_mayfield]

Yeah i would say the pointy one looks like a trin. scorpion, but i could be wrong.

shouldnt be long till you can taste one tho and give a heat level... that could help?

looks like a chinense tho for sure!

 

[JAHaworth]

Are the Jamaican Red Hots as hot as they sound? Same with the Scorpion? How do they compare with the Habanero Reds which these are supposed to be?

Looks like some kind of cross.
Definitely a hab of some sort.

EDIT:

They're both REALLY hot, and the Trinidad Scorpion is said to be as hot as the Naga Morich.

 

[stillmanz]

lets be realistic I doubt a nursery in NZ is pumping out Trinidad scorpions as a generic red habanero...people gonna makemoney out of it first.
Jamaican reds a a "bonnet type pepper with much more variance in pod shape. Very heavy producer in my experience. A good pepper to own.
Let it grow out a bit and see what it does.
Also IMO there is too much variance to be congo pepper.

 

[JAHaworth]

The plant is producing HEAPS!! of pods. I'll add an image of the whole plant in the next few days.

 

[JAHaworth]

Well for anyone interested and thouse helping me, here is a photo of the whole plant.

Thanks

Now it looks more like a red hab, but definitely some kind of cross.
