Abandoned Pepper Seed Identification

obchili · Jul 31, 2014

Hi there. Early this year when I sewed some of my seeds, I had approximately 5 seeds that escaped their coffee filters and amalgamated together in the corner of my starting tray. Yes, I germinated a bunch of varieties together in the same large tray. A couple were given away, and a few stayed with me. I had already identified 1. So, for now, I would like to ask for help in a possible ID. Just to help out a bit, I will give a list of what I have started for seeds to help in identifying.

Jim Nardello, Trinidad Perfume, Hungarian Wax, Early California Wonder Bell Pepper, 7 Pod Douglah, Caribbean Red Habanero, Trinidad Moruga Scorpion, Rocoto, Carolina Reaper, Bhut Jolokia, Brainstrain, and East Indian Chili.

I can safely rule out the Jim Nardello (wrong shape), Hungarian Wax (wrong color and shape), East Indian Chili (too big and wrong shape), Early California Wonder (wrong bottom shape), Rocoto (not fuzzy). These are what I can safely exclude.

Thank you for any help you may be able to provide.

And that is a size 13 adult mens shoe for reference....

My guess would be bell pepper sometimes depending on the growing conditions they can look like that
Reason saying I grew California wonder bell peppers last year and some looked just like that.

Bell

Ok, thank you for the quick replies. I will retract my statement from above about me safely eliminating the Early California Wonder due to the shape. I guess I got me a lot more learning to do.

I was gonna guess Bell as well.

It looks sort of like a bell-jalapeno cross I grew one year.

Looks like some of the bell pepper pods I have growing, so me thinks it's bell.

Well, since I am growing the Early California Wonder peppers, I will have to give you that. I looked closely at the leaves, and they are the same, and it is indeed very similar, and has also taken on more of the bell pepper looks now. Thank you again all for your replies.
