chinense Chilli Tests "Tasmanian Habanero"

theHippySeedCo · Jul 11, 2009

this is the last fresh pod test of the season, so made it an Aussie named 1.. the Tasmanian Habanero it is also special for another reason.
thehippyseedcompany has just hit 1000 Subscribers on Youtube :shocked:

thanks..

these are cool, got them couple yrs ago from John chiliman.biz (think is his site)didnt grow them till this season though, he lives up the rd an Hr or so away and this is his no.2 Tassie Hab as it changes from green to red, the no1 changes from a blackish to red,,they are from somewhere in the caribbean and the plants are thinish stemmed and the leaves are also thinish so it sort of looks bushy and mine are bout 70 cm or so , but only put in ground a few months ago and think they will get taller..

They Have the Bizzarrish taste, almost straight away the heat hits and itsa capsicumy taste then a sweetish tasts melts with.. after a little bit it tastes salty ? completley Weird But Novacastrian was here so had 1 too in the Vid. Hot Yes pretty Hot and a great burn.

hope yA's enjoy
neil

looked around too as Ya do for info and Found out that

TAZMANIAN HABANERO
This is one of the most awesome new introductions that we've had in years. This unusual Habanero is Ultra-HOT and has a large mid-section with a sharp, pointy bottom. It's a Pepper Joe original

Sauces start next week

Another great video Neil, soon there won't be any Peppers left to test!

Grew the Blackish version(No.1) of his last year and had very similar taste to them. Pretty hot and very prolific too!

Great video as usual. I remember back when PepperJoe introduced the Tasmanian hab as their exclusive way back when. I just always wondered why they were called Tasmanian and why they were called habs, but I guess thats a whole other discussion

AlabamaJack · Jul 21, 2009

another good one Neil...looks like Nova was enjoying it too..

Biscombe · Jul 21, 2009

Mine look different to that Neil

They have a purple tint near the bottom even when ripe, did you get yours from Pepper Joe?

Just found these and I hope to try them this summer. When looking at the shape, the first thing that came to mind was the Trinidad Perfume pod shape. Cool shaped pods.

Watched your review on youtube and that really makes me want to try it more.

Thanks,

I know this is an old thread but I found it trying to figure out what this pepper could be. It was bought at a local nursery labeled Habanero.
Does anyone know what it could be or what it could've crossed with? It has a Hab smell and it's oily with heat all at once in the beginning. I can't explain the taste, it's not a strong Hab flavor but similar.

Orange blob?

There's just no telling what it crossed with.
I had a similar experience several years ago and the taste of the fruit reminded me of burning plastic.

I wanted to add that this is a Bonnies plant and was told by someone that Bonnies crossed a Hab with some type of Naga to increase the heat. I also found other people that had the same pepper shape so it's a Bonnies thing.

BlackFatalii · Jun 20, 2016

If it is a Bonnie plant then it is probably the "Spartacus" hybrid habanero. That is what Bonnie has been selling as Orange Habanero for the past couple of years or so. It has a bumpier shape than the classic Orange Hab. There is a previous discussion on it here: http://thehotpepper.com/topic/55411-help-please-id-this-pepper/?hl=%2Bspartacus+%2Bhabanero#entry1186219

Rajun Gardener · Jun 20, 2016

Thanks for that link, it confirms what someone told me about Bonnies doing a cross but I still think it's wrong. I found this and think it's what is growing but I'm not sure. It looks like Habanero Adalberto, here's the link

This unusual Habanero is Ultra-HOT

Guesstimate on the scovilles?

"ultra hot" is what I call peppers that I deem in a hotter category than "super hots"...

**edit: oops didn't realize how old the post was.

Rajun Gardener · Jun 21, 2016

The Tasmanian isn't a superhot, he ate more than 1. Here's his taste test. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rabM8CKp9WU

I occasionally see orange habs with this shape at local grocery stores. Bought a few once when I was out of fresh pods. They seemed to be very thinned walled and were lacking in heat and flavor. I didn't bother saving any seeds from those pods.
