Getting back into hot peppers

B

BluesGuy

Hi,

I used to love growing all kinds of hot peppers from about 2014-2017. Between moves and a growing family, I'm just now getting back into hot peppers. I'm currently growning Black Hungarian peppers for the first time.

I'm hoping to connect with fellow enthuist, find new varieties to grow, and possibly find the below seeds.

CP 014 - Belize Sweet Habanero
CP 007 - Tobago Sweet Scotch Bonnet

In 2016ish, I grew a variety from Cristopher Phillips that was orange and had a great tropical flavor. Half the plants had a shiny skin, half the plants had a dull skin. They were my favorite to date, and I believe they are one of the above varities.
 
Hey @BluesGuy ! Welcome to the forum! What region of PA are you in?

Is this the Belize Sweet Habanero that you grew? https://thechilewoman.com/shop/product/belize-sweet-habanero/

Also, Tobago Sweet Scotch Bonnet may be a synonym for Tobago Seasoning Pepper, which is pretty widely available. Baker Creek Seeds has them. Although that may or may not be the strain/phenotype that you grew, they are a very nice pepper. There are a variety of C. chinenses available that have relatively lower heat and that really nice scotch bonnet flavor. If you'd like I can recommend some!

It looked similar to the picture below, but they were not round. Maybe a little longer too.
