plant Need help identifying this pepper plant

riosett · May 1, 2012

I currently grow Bhut Jolokia and my friend who also grows peppers got me this plant. It was marked Trinidad Scorpion Butch T but the pods that are coming out are skinny like a Cayenne pepper. Can anyone help me identify the pepper plant for me? Thanks in advance,

Picture is very small but not a butch T. Can you post a close up of the pod?

Your friend didn't happen to get that plant from Hirt's Gardens did he/she? They are falsely selling a cayenne type pepper as a Butch T. Apparently have been doing so for a while now despite numerous complaints about it.

Look like a thai pepper I have growing.

Is there a recommended place to buy the Trinidad Scorpion Butch T? Want to grow these babies and do not want to get scammed. The Bhut J I got is doing great as well.

You looking for seeds or plants?

If you want live plants, Dale (BakersPeppers) sells them. He is a member here and a class act.

Thanks Compmodder...looking for plants. My friend is getting a refund for the plants...the other peppers are what was advertised...so happy with that.

Cross Country Nursery is also higly regarded... But they have a minimum number of plants that you have to purchase.... They have a couple hundred varieties though if I remember correctly.
