Has anyone grown this variety and if so what was your experience?

Flavor, taste and heat?

edited to add: is this the same variety as the Red Carribean?

Antillais Caribbean has got a lovely flavour, a cross between a Hab and Scotch Bonnet, it's about as hot as a Hab.

R.B Antillais or Harold ST.barts trying to narrow my list for next year

 

[rainbowberry]

Both, I think the Harold St Barts is hotter though but I had more pods off my Antillais Caribbean.

I read somewhere that a single plant only produces about 20 peppers. Has this been your experience?

I also assume that these are 100+ days to harvest that seem to be typical of the chinese?

 

[rainbowberry]

No mine has been one of the best producers this year, I've had well over 100, no must be more than that.

 

[talas]

A nice productive plant,Im sure you will overwinter that one

 

[rainbowberry]

I'm not over-wintering anything.

 

[talas]

Your being brutal then..and me Naughty are we not,Have just cut my overwintered plants down to ten as i have a lot to grow next year..im telling myself here im cutting back lol

 

[rainbowberry]

I will grow Antillais Carribean again next year but a whole new plant.

Some people here tell about big harvests from overwintered plants. Is it a lack of indoor space or do you just like to see it grow new?

Thata a good question R.B surely that will produce massively if it survived through the winter

 

[rainbowberry]

Oh f*ck it then , just for you guys I'll over-winter it, it's the only one though. It's not a space issue, more a laziness one.
