A little background:
The most popular pepper in Hawaii is called, wait for it.....the Hawaiian Chili Pepper. All "official" descriptions notably from the University of Hawaii Ag department categorize it a a "bird Pepper" see quote:
Hawaiian: This pepper is common in the backyards of
Hawai’i. Plants are generally tall and long-lived, with
small, bullet shaped fruits that ripen to a bright red and
are very hot. Species: C. frutescens; also identified as
C. annuum var. glabriusculum
A friend of mine, who I got my ghost pepper from, insists that he has a ghost/hawaiian hybrid. My alcohol induced brain began disputing his alcohol induced brain because I always thought you cannot cross a chinense with a frutescens. Now that I sobered up, I am wondering if it can happen and if I owe him an alcoholic apology "sorry bro, have a beer"
please enlighten me
