Looks like some sort of C.annuum glabriusculum, i.e. a wild form of C.annuum. This one being generally known as Pequin or Piquin. They are usually pretty hot and make very hot powder.    Nice growing, by the way!!! 

I just saw the debacle that was made out of Prod John`s wild seed auction in the classifieds.   Can we please focus on a great guy and his fight against Leukemia, instead of anything detrimental to this? I`m pointing no fingers and naming no names, but just asking that we, as a community...

Funds are direct deposited into Chris` PayPal account in real time, or as close as PayPal gets, anyway. The days left is the length of the appeal, which was put at 1 year, to attempt to raise $50,000. This site is therefore live for 365 days and will end after that. More can be raised if people...

Excellent post, thanks for doing that.

Everyone wants to help more, believe me. To those of you who have made a donation, thank you very much. It does`t matter how much you gave, it just matters that you support this endeavour for Chris. 

Every little bit helps AJ, no worries!

I saw that you have the fund raising site feature on your own website. Thanks a lot, I truly appreciate that. For anyone wishing to know what web site that is, here ya go,   http://www.peppersbymail.com   Both Jim Duffy and Ed Currie have been involved in this from the start and I believe Ed is...

Good for you, thanks so much for your generosity. Chris goes by cmpman1974 on here.   If you`ve grown any superhots, chances are he was instrumental in acquiring seeds from the source and distributing them to the community at large. He also named the 7-pot Primo. It isn`t only superhots, but he...

Sorry John, I didn`t read this before posting. D`oh!

It`s been a long time since I was last here. I`m posting because we now have a live site on Donationto.com, to benefit our good friend Christopher Phillips.    On 11/4/15 Chris was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). This is a very serious cancer that affects the formation of...

Once Rocotos start to go red (or yellow, or orange), they usually don`t take too long to ripen. Just hang in there and they will be fine. 

Rocoto San Isidro lit me up last week. It was like a chocolate hab mixed with a big lump of wasabi. Went straight up my sinuses and I coughed and choked like a 2 year old eating raw horseradish root.    I`ve never had that with ANY pepper before. 

It`s a very fair point, but I take the fifth!!! Or, maybe Occam`s Razor might apply and the simplest argument is that it`s a cross? 

Last year I took Carolina Reaper seeds from a number of long-tailed Reaper pods. I grew them out this year and one plant had Chocolate pods, but with no tails. It is obviously a cross, not a Chocolate Carolina Reaper. Still, that`s interesting, at least to me!    The aroma was clearly from a...

There is likely to be zero Naga/Bhut in this pod. I say that purely from tasting and smelling it, but I can usually tell right away. Of course, I`m not infallible. 

Yessir! I really hope so, Judy.

I took Reaper seeds from long-tailed pods last year and grew them out this year. From a few different growers. Anyway, one plant has Chocolate pods. The plant is weak and not very productive, but I will try to overwinter and clone.   The aroma and flavour are suggestive of 7-pot douglah, BUT the...

I don`t believe in 10/10 as a concept, LOL. I think I gave the Chocolate Brain Strain 9/10 and that is still the hottest thing I`ve eaten. 

A truly wonderful pepper sent to me by Mr Hill.    The seeds came from a Yellow Moruga Scorpion pod, so it obviously crossed with something red. The clear answer is a Bhut or Naga type, given the shape. Most likely a Naga.   The initial aromas were sweet and fruity, with that particular aroma...
