    The umbrella gene means that from a node with a cluster of fruits, 4-5 new, long shoots form and so forth. As opposed to the normal, when a node splits into 2 short shoots before forming nodes again. The Pimenta Morango is a chinense source for this trait... You can read about the "umbrella...

Made these 5 selections from around 50 F2-plants - again I think I have been able to achieve my goal even though I am only growing small scale - so just give breeding a try... The selections all have cluster fruit-set (aka umbrella gene), hot to very hot pods, great chinense-typical aroma.    

Photos of the interior - first photo is, from left to right: 7 Pot Primo (although tail is missing, from Semillas), Oruro (chinense from Semillas - tip is blunted, not like on Semillas' website, this one may not be pure chinense as is lacks the typical chinense-aromas and pod set is one per...

So, it is time for an update on one of my breeing projects - the "Nagaquin". This year is the growout of the F3-generation. 6 plants were grown from an isolated F2-pod and there is already significantly more uniformity amongst the plants. They look quite the same, although there are minor...

In the first photo you are able to see some pods that haven't dried yet, they still have some ridging. However, this is not a trait I will be giving attention when stabilizing this cross...

Thanks for your interest, hoping to see a lot of drying/powder pepper varieties in the future developed by the forum members. I think the drying process is able to bring out some very interesting flavor profiles. My inspiration for this cross comes from the book "The Great Chile Book" which has...

For those interested in breeding, I am here showing off my quite successful cross thus far, the "Nagaquin" - a cross betwen Naga Morich and Pequin de Ischia. I am breeding small-scale and working on a lot of different crosses, but with this want to encourage others to start breeding themselves...

You are right, Potawie. Furthermore it should not be possible for nature to break this barrier, i.e. this interspecific cross should not be possible without artificial in vitro methods. Korean researchers did it to introduce a disease resistance gene into cap...

Welcome, HAJ. We have had quite a challenging summer this year, colder than average - still, I have more chilies than I could ever eat in a year... Mainly because of some early, reliable varieties such as Czech. Black, Bulgarian Carrot, Aji Cristal and some crosses. Not much luck with chinenses...

Yes, the black to red ripening Orozco has been out there for some years as far as I know - but it seems that a sweet pepper somehow got the same name... It seems to me that the pictured sweet pepper is quite similar to a lot of different snack pepper varieties with a small seed cavity becoming...

Some of the varieties are listed here: http://www.seedman.com/pepper.htm

Having too many crosses to work on I had actually laid my "Nagaquin" project to rest, but decided to continue the project this year after all. I am hoping this could inspire others to set up their own crossing projects, trying to improve already excisting varieties... My plan is to stabilize two...

This is indeed an interesting story - and credit for the idea of crossing these two peppers... However, I am having a hard time following this story, it seems to me that it would be quite hard to stabilize the cross over "several years" keeping in mind that, as i understand it, the cross was...

Great thread, I love the crushed pepper from Pizza Hut. You may be growing seeds from an F1-variety, so growing out the F2 generation gives you different plants. Growing out some seeds from a selfed pod next year should provide the answer. If plants are all alike it must be a stabile variety...

How about growing the orange Mohawk then... http://parkseed.com/pepper-mohawk/p/5637-PK-P1/

First time I have seen a baccatum listed as Pimenta Morango too. But it does have almost the same pod shape. However it seems to me it could be Pimenta Barro di Robiero, c. baccatum. Spicegeist, the one I sent you is chinense or maybe annuum/chinense like Pimenta da Neyde, it has typical...

I have almost the same conditions as you, I have tried Limón and Beni Highlands and they were somewhat earlier ripening than other chinenses I grew that year. Regarding baccatums I think Lemon Drop, Aji Pineapple and Hot Lemon are almost the same, I have had so small differences (a...

Sorry man, didn't want to hurt your feelings - but it would be nice to see some photos and/or grow seeds. It's just that I have been on the lookout for a brown baccatum for many years and have been disappointed so many times, because taxonomy is so bad... So for now it is my belief that a brown...

I don't think so, the traditional Aji Panca is chinense. Has anyone got photos of flowers + pods of a brown ripening baccatum?

I have grown several strains (7 different) of peppers going under this name, most of them were labeled chinense, some baccatum. However, they all turned out to be chinense and I have yet to see a brown ripening baccatum, would love to develop some brown ripening baccatum cultivars. So have you...
