Anyone growing Yaki blue?

Nigel · Apr 7, 2014

Here are my seedlings. There is quite a bit of difference in colouration between plants. What are the rest of you seeing with this hybrid?

Never trust seeds from a slacker, especially the slacker you`re talking about!

I have not grow it before, it does sound interesting. Do you have any photos of the pepper pod? Oh yes is it a Annuum or What?

its Filius Blue x Bhut Jolokia for the yakki Blue Fawn

Nigel · Apr 7, 2014

Yes, Mr PexPeppers, I have the Yaki Blue Fawn.

What is the Yaki blue, then?

They seem to take a very loooong time to ripen.

Here are two different Yaki blue fawn (RA) seedlings, so you can see the variation in colour.

Here it is looking a bit sad at the moment after getting beat down by the rain all day.

Nice Review Nigel

Hmm, have both growing. Yaki Blue and Yaki Blue Fawn. Was under the impression they were two different types. As the Yaki Blue goes red. From ones I've seen on FB. Guess we shall see.

Mine came from Monsieur Standbyandfire, so I`ve adopted his labelling. The seeds actually came from the pod I ate in the review above. RA = Raphael Alber.
