Bangalore Whippets Tails

[fubarhouse]

Hey,
I got the Bangalore Whippets Tail seeds as a bonus in a purchase a while back. They are one variety which is really thriving and really going strong at the moment. However I can't find any information on them. Can anybody supply a picture, background information ect. I think they are a capsicum annumm, I'm still a newb at the annumm genus and I'm not sure about colour shape ect. of this variety. I am also interested in how hot they are, but at the same time I really don't care for the heat.

Any information would be helpful, pictures would be really helpful. So thanks to everybody who can help, in advance

Sounds like a cross between a whippet's tail(annuum) and a Bangalore torpedo(frutescens)

This was the information I needed thank you muchly, you're always helpful

FOR THE RECORD,

If anybody else seeks information.
C.frut X C.ann. hybrid
medium heat(will comment after produce is available)
would appear to be significantly long, juicy and thick skinned
it would be safe to assume a thick skin, an alternative to the cayenne for the everyday average person
The Whippets Tail originates in India so should taste good.

I will update this page with photos and information as my plants progress. Can't comment on seed availability yet, but will change when I get the permission to advertise it.

From my experience the Whippet's tail isn't exactly the most flavorful chile. Sort of a mild, bland cayenne taste. They do however grow very long pods, which may work great in a cross/hybrid. I know I've used them in some of my breeding projects
