Cayenne?

Bayoubulldog · May 11, 2016

Ok, I got these from a local nursery because my only cayenne peppers died. I have never seen a cayenne get this big or stay green this long! Is this a cayenne?

I have three plants and the all have a half dozen peppers at least. Most are over 5" long. The longest is about 8" long maybe.

Yep. Looks like it. But soooooo many peppers look like that. Were they labeled as cayennes?

Bayoubulldog · May 11, 2016

Yes, it was labeled only as cayenne. I've just never seen one this long before! It's going to make a lot of good ground pepper!

looks like my Cheyenne.

think mine was called starfire F1? or something like that...

I grew something that looked just like that a couple years back. It is a juicer thick skinned variety with a pretty good over all flavor either fresh or dried. It also seemed to be a milder one where heat was concerned.

Looks like cayenne .
BUT , that is an exceptional size.
Please entertain us with follow up pictures and taste report.

I wonder if it's really a cowhorn pepper.

looks yummy!

I'm just getting impatient for them to start ripening to red! These things are blowing up in size daily. I had one or two turn bad and begin to rot on me. Ultimately that's what made me question what they were. They didn't turn red like every other cayenne I've ever seen. I'm wondering if I left them out too long? I'll pick one and see how it tastes

did the tip rot? probably just a calcium deficiency.

Actually no. (I dont think) Two got very soft and brown in the middle. Odd. Not quite like the end rot I've had on tomatoes in the past.

Looks a bit like Jimmy Nardello.

Cayenne, skinnier, shorter, smaller leaves.

Cheyenne is a cayenne.

That looks about like what I'm dealing with for sure. Thanks for the heads up. I'll look into it!

I want!.... mmmmmm looks yummy whatever they are.

Look like the Bonnie "Golden Cayenne" I got from a Big Box a few years ago.

I'm not sure what they really were (Perhaps their "Hot Salsa" pepper?), but they were quite hot and very prolific. To this day, I'm still working on the gobs of powder I made.
