If a picture is worth a thousand words, then......       Steven

    Probably not.   To me the mild ones are like thin bell peppers but very slightly sweeter.   We grew 3 frying peppers pictured below.  The Shishito you recognise.  The top one is a Jimmy Nardello and on the right is a Friarlello.  All 3 are frying peppers and are fairly tasteless unless fried...

  Brutaldiver, I will try to explain it in more detail.   I have 2 Shishito pepper plants that have been producing peppers for some time now and I have eaten many pods off both plants. Both were from the same seed packet. One plant consistantly makes peppers that are more normal in that about 1...

If I do get some of these, I am going to cross them with yellow Habaneros next year, then plant the seeds from the mildest fruit till I get just the right amount of heat, maybe around Jalapeno hot for me.   I want to use the jobitos as those who have tried them say they have great flavor. ...

  Been eating them for awhile, this was the latest batch we picked. I put them in the wok with butter ghee till just right, then put one tbs of dark soy sauce in for one min, then salt.   They lose most of the hot when cooked though.   Very good.    Steven

I grew 2 Shishitos, both in pots this year. One is more or less normal except that the peppers are a bit small (from pictures I've seen) and one in ten are hot.  The other one (both from the same seed packet) is in a bit smaller pot (6") and the pods are a bit smaller, but the weird thing is...

    Mine too, the quote below sounds great and looks like a real good idea for group buys for any new and interesting peppers out there.       Steven

  Helvete, I looked around  to see if I could find any pepper of the Frutescens that looked like these and found that they look quite a bit like the short yellow tobasco.   links below   http://www.semillas.de/cgi-bin/shop_en/shop.cgi?shop=&keywords=Capsicum%20frutescens&cart_id=  third from the...

  Smokemaster, the reason I was wondering if these were Habanero De Arbol is that the peppers on mine are so varied in size and shape as compaired to the pics I have seen at other sites. They are all over the map on mine. By the way Bob gave me one of his plants. It is the one in the pic above...

  Smokemaster are you sure about this, the plant looks the same and I found a 2012 picture you posted on Gardenweb of the flower, and it is the same, but the peppers on this one are not quite as pointed as yours, and some even dip in at the end.   Steven.   Sure, I would be interested in any...

Howdy, read through this entire thread, took me a week, a bit at a time.  I planted several pepper seeds (21 varieties) the end of January, then bought 5 plants later on this year choosing a wide variety of seeds and plants including one wild Tepin. At the time I didn't know what a wild was, it...

Well, We found a way to contact Bob and had a good visit this afternoon. I took pictures of the flowers which was  hard as I don't have a good macro. I tried to get shots in different light. The first picture is not real good and was on the plant in the sun and in the wind. I popped a whole...

    SmokenFire, I may need to get my Aji jobito seeds from you. I ordered direct, but just had an order from Peru conficated by the USDA, so they may take these also.   Steven

Well, I found some seeds in Canada and ordered them. I did check into it and found that they allow seeds from Canada with out the Phyto-sanitary Cert.   Got some Cumari do Para also.     Steven       Yep you did, Sorry, but I do have an excuse. At that time I had just learned that the notice was...

While looking around for some Aji Charapita seeds I came across this notice to US customers at the Semillas website which was updated Mar. 1,  2015       Important Notice to all US customers! Some recent shipments to US have been confiscated by USDA and the customers got an empty envelope...
