Thanks to Sarah for sending these Yrs ago, grown them for 3 yrs now i think and never tried 1 as don't till test so as seasons winding down and not many left thought would have a go as a few people have tried them and always said good stuff, they taste nice and hot.. Cool

the plants don't get that big and get to about 3 feet and remind me of a Big Afro as they sort of roundish and thick/bushy, ya get a heap of Pods on them too but they arnt that seedy.
the Pods are bout an Inch long and shaped like sort of peanuts or little beans and its Not a crunchy crunch but a sort of smoothish soft taste,, Flavour WOW they are unreal and instantly sweet and a nice fruity tang with then a light habaneroish flavour as well.

heat is fairly quick too and Builds a Bit and hit the Throat and Mouth fairly hard with a Great burn that then peaked and plateaued for a while whilst keeping the great flavour..

i reallllly love these and they surprised me with both the Great flavour and Heat,, they would have to be my Favorite non superhot now as well and will get a couple more going next season so have Lots of Pods and might make something with.

Hope Ya's enjoy..
cheers
neil.
 
Nice! A lesser heat pod gave you the hiccups? Must of had a bit of bite. Looks like a good one for salsas, may need to try to find seeds for next season. :D
 
looks like a nasty little bastard. and arboc i think everyone here wishes that they could grow all the chili's Neil dose. but alas space is the issue... oh yea and the climate for me.. kinda sucks having 6 moths of sub zero temps.
