I'm guessing the really dark purple we see in capsicum annuum and hybrids is from intentional breeding for aesthetics. You can see mild purpling in wild species such as tepins. I've also seen it in other wild species such as capsicum praetermissum and maybe a few others I don't recall. I use the...
I like White Hot Peppers and Midwest Chile Heads for a vendors. My seed stock was too old, so I picked up stuff from them this year. Everything was good from both. I haven't tried Atlantic Pepper Seeds, but they seem like they're worth a shot.
That one has very poor lighting or has been crossed. Also, the shape of the fruit from the OP is pointed whereas a pimenta de Neyde fruit is more blunt.
Tepin x my (Trinidad Moruga Scorpion x 7JPN). I'd do it for wild genes and smaller fruit (nice hot snacking pepper). Technically they already have capscum anuum from the pimenta de Neyde. I'd also would cross any purple c. annuum with any Trinidadian c. chinese for fruity flavor sans Trinidad...
Interesting. The information is incorrect on many sources I thought were credible. I didn't think it would get pollinated outside of that complex, but I couldn't explain why I got fruit. The seeds looked viable last year so they probably are. I had no others from that complex in my garden. Thank...
Cool. It's been really humid here! I'll let you know what I have then. My capsicum cardenasii survived the winter in the Southeastern part of VA. It set fruit last year, but I read it's self-incompatible. Its mate died from neglect and didn't flower at the same time. However it set seeds. I'm...
I grew a plant years ago. Seed stock is no good now. They did fine hydroponically. I read about how they have shallow roots, but they don't seem to care in a hydroponic environment. If I recall correctly, they gave off a sent when touched. I thought it was more of a tomato-like sent.
