Too early to tell for a baccatum, there's plenty of variance between the different types.   I'll even bet that there a few different strains of "aji limon" with some variance between them as well.

Frutescens in general? (tobasco etc etc)   Eat them before they are ripe, and just as they ripen, wait a couple of days too long and they get mushy. Keep this in mind if you want to pickle the leftovers.   This is in my experience anyway.

To the original poster, i don't think this is the case with your plant (because your plant is miniaturized but still thriving), but pepper plants will put out what i call "survival pods" when they are under less-than-ideal conditions. Eventually they stop growing and devote all remaining energy...

Here's a thread that discusses a few isolation techniques: http://thehotpepper.com/topic/32354-plant-isolation-techniques-to-prevent-open-hybrids/   Good luck.

Baccatum flower. Enjoy your surprise plant, because it looks like it's going to fill up with yummy pods.   Try to isolate some unopened flowers to avoid any future junk hybrids, because you have an unusual variety on your hands. This way you can trade pure seed.

Takes about two weeks worth of Dunk soakings to catch the full life cycle. But it gets more difficult if new adults keep flying into the home. They might be easier to eradicate in the winter time.   The first year i got them, the solo cups were infested with the larva, but i don't remember any...

Yea, it reminds me of a Baccatum too, the tall growth pattern, maybe the leaves, the pods etc. Can you give us a clear close-up pic of an open flower? (a clear flower pic might clinch the ID).   But I have seen Baccatum hybrid/crosses that had not-typical flowers so .... we might be back at...

    Zen i didn't want to hijack the other thread so i figured i would quote you in your thread. You mention "not much" of a fruity taste, but when the peppers have been fully ripe, for say ~ 3-5 days, is the flesh a bit soft and not crispy?   The only other pepper i've seen come close to the...

tbh Zen i'm not seeing a strong resemblance to Jamaican Mushroom, which is what i think the original poster has.   I still feel that the peppers in the above pic are a strain of Trinidad Spice, that is what they most resemble imho, just maybe not the strain you were expecting though.

There's more than a few decent Ebay seed vendors but, until you know who they are, it would be wise to stay away.   Sorry that your plants didn't turn out as suspected.

Mine always looked like the ones in the pic from cross country nurseries: http://www.chileplants.com/images/chiles/trinidad-perfume.jpg <-- Some of the pods varied a tiny bit (bulgy waistline) but nearly all looked just like those. Fruity taste and smell, no heat, can't recall my original seed...

Or you could use Potassium Nitrate KNO3, also known as Saltpeter.   The easiest way to get some is to purchase Spectracide Stump Remover from Home Depot Or Lowes. This product is 100% pure btw.   Here's a write-up with some instructions...

I seemed to have missed the details of this one. Great info, thank you for passing it along.   Got some nice crabapple and mulberry wood* waiting to do the job :)

Thanks for the update Dulac.   Personally i think this version is a good F1 line to grow out. Longer pods with a bulky waistline, makes it unusual and recognizable. The cool looking plant is a bonus.

Not sure if you saw it yet, but this thread may offer a few clues, especially from post # 8 onwards: http://thehotpepper.com/topic/36572-pi-281429-cchinense/

What's so nice is that they are a huge type, as opposed to the golfball sized ones that are so common.   I would hold onto a ton of seed from the best ones. Store em cool, dry and airtight and they should be viable for a lot of years.

What's strange is that my two seed sources produced different pods than yours. Yours more resemble the Trinidad Seasonings that i've seen. But then again, Smokemaster did say that a few types are floating around so who knows.   Mine look a lot more like these, with one or two rounded lobes...

Doesn't sound like he's after Filippino varieties, it sounds like he wants the ones you have ;).   I'd say he'd be fine with 99% of the choices out there, except for maybe pubescens if he's in a hot climate.

Azomite is both volcanic and seabed deposits. Not sure if you've seen it yet but check this for a better explanation: http://azomite.com/history.html   In micronized form, -200 mesh size, it's a quick breakdown, but then i always use it right from the start, first in the nursery trays, then in...

A little bit of Azomite can go a long way, especially for container mixes. Or if you are planting in the ground you can drop and mix a heaping tablespoon into the planting hole. I put a little into seedling mixes as well. I prefer the dust form because it is micronized and super-fine. Thery have...
