I went to the web site and poked around. The Star of Turkey looks interesting. Has anyone grown it?

Wow! Lovely peppers.
Beautiful! Germinating some now.Jamison said:I think Yellow Datils are one of the most underrated peppers. They are amazing. I gave my wife's Grandpa a Datil plant to grow in April. This is what it looked like in the middle of October. That thing was a monster.
I thought the red ones weren't hot. I have red and yellow growing and the red are sweet, not heat at all. The yellow/orange is pretty hot though.
I grew the yellow datil for the first time this year. I will not be growing it next year.
It was a nice productive plant, and I did like the pepper, but it does not compare to fatalii (in my opinion). The datil seemed to be similar to fatalii in taste, but was not as flavorful nor as hot. Also it is smaller and way more seedy than the fatalii. It just seemed like there was a lot more pepper vs seed with the fatalii.
The above observation is based only on the plants grown in my garden, others may have a different experience.
