This sounds similar to what I read about the REd savina.
Some can be out of this world mouth burning, but others are just the same heat as a regular hab.
SO many variables for the Naga Viper. Im supprised they used the name Naga in this pepper cross. Considering its From England and not Nagaland...
I have to say I tried my first Fatali today. This thing lit me up!
Haven't had a burn like this since I ate my first sandwich with jolokia hot sauce last summer.
I now know why its called the fatali.
YA im planning on growing these next year as well.
Will be doing 3
mild varietes.
Suave hab
Aji dulce
Nu Mex heritage 6-4
This year I grew some of the hottest,
but I want stuff I can cook with on a daily basis, and friends/ family can eat. Also some chili's I can get some friends and family...
If you need some of the Caribbean red I can hook you up.
The way to tell would honestly take a bite out of them.
The Caribbean REd, has a good smokey flavor. not to mention it has heat that can rival the red savinas.
Wouldnt supprise me if you grow this variety in Arizona, with it's chili...
You know Id be interested in testing out the theory of what Climate would produce a hotter chili.
I would be willing to grow some of the hotter varieties here in Subtropical Georgia
and have some one grow some in a dry desert climate like Arizona or new mexico
and send them off to some members...
For a texas grow I might recommend,
Grabbing some seeds from NMSU and the hippy seed co.
Jolokias will grow just fine in Texas. AS will Butch scorpions.
But if you want to grow for flavor
try these 3 varieties
New mexico chili
Aji dulce
Suave Habanero ( heatless variety)
