Just out of curiosity, does anyone know of any habanero varieties from the Philippines? I know Vietnam, Malaysia and Hainan Island, as well as Myanmar all have variants of the habanero, so I've been wondering if the Philippines do, too. I can't seem to find any info on them if there is, though.

So I recently came across this really interesting sounding hybrid, but the only info I can find on its parentage is that one of the parents is a chinense called Pimenta Moranga. Does anyone know what the other parent is? Does the "peach" in the name refer to 'sugar rush peach' by any chance? I...

Hi there, was just wondering if anyone has tried growing the new Lemon Reaper (aji lemon drop x carolina reaper)? From the looks and sounds of it, this an amazing pepper, combining both lemon drop fruitiness with near super-hot heat levels. Have any of you tried growing it out? Have you tasted...

Does anyone know just how frost hardy some of the wild chiltepins can get from the SW states? I hear the temperatures can get pretty low in the "Sky Island" mountains of Arizona and New Mexico. Do any of them survive in USDA zone 8-7 areas in that region?

I realize that "Thai pepper" could describe virtually any pepper that traditionally hails from Thailand, but what I'm referring to, specifically, is the roughly 2in long, skinny red peppers, with a quick dry heat, sold in all the grocery stores in the Metro-Vancouver region. Everyone here calls...

After discovering volunteer baccatums in a few beds at work, it's pretty clear to me, now, that baccatums are probably hands-down one of the best and easiest peppers to grow outdoors, in ground, in the Vancouver BC area, and places with similar climates (Seattle, parts of England, Tasmania...

So I just visiting the farm at my university where I work and study, and low-and-behold, I found a baccatum volunteer growing at the end of the bed where we grew them last year...         The baccatums we had in this bed were the f1 hybrid Aji Rico from High Mowing Seeds. As you can see, this...

Do any of you have a preferred time of the year to start ordering seeds? I would think early fall time would be the best time, as the vendors have probably started replenishing their stocks. Am I right? I guess there's also going to be major delays in the postal system, atm, so perhaps getting...

Based on your experience, or to your knowledge, what varieties of hot peppers are the absolute earliest, from seeding germination to fully ripe fruit? Any species, all heat levels? In my experience, the absolute fasted to flower, set fruit and ripen were purple serranos. I barely got them out...

If you had to cross an annuum with a chinense, which varieties of each would you choose? I'm thinking of attempting some hybrids, to produce a chinense cross that's better suited to PNW, especially the cool coastal areas. In the Vancouver area (BC) we've being getting night temps down to...

I've been doing research on varieties of peppers from Belize, and I've only come across a handful of names. Does anyone know of any pepper varieties that are unique to this region? It seems like peppers are a fairly important part of the Belizean diet, so I'm assuming they have more than three...

Hi everyone, it's been a long time since my last post. Just wondering if any of you have noticed any varieties in particular that you've grown that seem either unphased by cooler temperatures, or even get more productive when the temperatures outdoors begin to cool down? I'm quite familiar with...

Hi there, so I've doing research into the regions where certain Andean chinense varieties that originate from within Peru and Bolivia. I've noticed a pattern where aji limo/limon type peppers, including Aji Cajamarca and Scarlet Lantern, and others, appear to originate from these areas. These...

Hey everyone, it's been ages since I posted here. I'm in school to study agriculture, and may have an opportunity to grow and even do research into hot pepper production and breeding on the West Coast of Canada in the next couple of years. So I may have loads of questions, because you...

Hi there, I've noticed over the past few years that the BONAP distribution maps for Capsicum annuum in the US show that there are populations that have begun naturalizing, or growing as weeds in the north-eastern US. Can anyone state-side confirm this? Here's the map I'm referring to...   Thanks!

I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right forum, let me know if it isn't, and I'll move it.   Does anyone here know where can I find seeds of Chunpepe, the wild frutescens from Honduras? Thanks.

So, living in a region with cool and wet summers (much like the west coast of Washington or Oregon), I decided to keep my first bhut jolokias in the greenhouse, which I kept quite warm. It's unheated, but small, so as long as I closed the windows at the right time in the evening, it would stay...

I'm currently doing research on frutescens, and I can't find to much info describing the hottest varieties. I'm thinking of trying to do a chinense x frutescens cross, with idea being to cross a really hot, but tasty frutescens with a super-hot landrace variety of chinense from Trinidad.

After looking at my plants, which were labeled "Habanero Rojo", I'm beginning to wonder if they are mislabeled Caribbean Reds, or if Habanero Rojo is just another name for Caribbean Red? I'm a bit suspicious, because I haven't found much information on Rojo. I bought them from Tried and True...

I've moved this question to the Pepper I.D. forum.
