I'm going with bitter too. All the ones I have ever eaten have been bitter (and disgusting).

Maybe though, just maybe... Brisso soil rejects O Habs and makes them bitter to punish the grower for even considering putting that crap into it...? ;)

Nah its gotta be to much radioactive brisbane sun that turns them bitter ;)

I've had issues with growing conditions that result in pods being spoiled by a bitter after taste. Habaneros I don't remember the orange habs though suffering this issue. Are you able to describe what exactly made it taste awful?

I've grown 3 orange Habanero candidate strains and none ever put out what I would call sweet pods. The first was a United Nurseries Yellow Habanero, the second was a Floriana Habanero and the third set were meant to be Fatalii plants. Despite some differences in pod shapes the taste was consistent among the 3 strains

Cap Chinense Anvillus Amberi- aka the Sun's Helmet. This a lesser known variety that originates from Panama. Not to be confused with Orange Habs they are thinner walled and have a alkaline based acidity. Most have few seeds and are quite palatable. I think that should have figged out your problem here.

I sussed out the other two on my own, took a fair while reading & looking at pics.

Still don't know what this hab/mongrel thing is though? you try & find a "Cap Chinense Anvillus Amberi- aka the Sun's Helmet"

I couldn't find anything on it?

Yeah, that'd be right, Mezo.... figure the others out by yourself and spoil the fun for the rest of us! :snooty:

In all honesty, I don't think you'll find an exact indentification of the orange one... it looks too generic to me. I dunno... I could be wrong!
