    breeding how to prevent cross pollination

    I let my plants grow unimpeded.  So a few have gotten real bushy. If I used Tomato cages and Tulle that would not happen. Obviously it works since your plants are proof.  I get the idea of a tube. As the plant grows the tube expands.  I'm going to start fresh next year with Habanero's and ghost...

    plant A couple different plants

    I'm new here and far from an expert. However your second picture matches what 2 of my Thai Chile Plants have done for 4 years. Green-Black-Red.  Black is hot.  Red adds some sweetness to the taste.  I put mine at Habanero  heat and above.  Mike M

It also seems that plants are kept for...
