Black Tepin?

[Gotrox]

As you can see in the pic, goes directly from green to black.

It IS a tepin, but anyone know what type?
Thanx.

Most cultivars I've seen from C.Annuum var. Glabriusculum (The "Tepin" family) start green, then the most sunned parts will get black before the whole pepper turns red. I am growing a variety from a gentleman here on THP called Tio, which I guess mean's "Uncle" in Peruvian Spanish. They do that same thing, and actually look quite similar to the ones in your picture, except the leaves look different.

Thanx.
I'll wait to pick them. First time growing tepins.
I'll try to curb my appetite, as they are already tasty little buggers.

yup, they got a tan. They'll turn red eventually. Just don't let the birds get to them like they've been getting to mine.

Patience. They will get red.

 

[Gotrox]

Patience?
Wots that?
Still have a rack of powders and a couple bags in the freezer---I should be able to make it.

C.annuum varieties often tan a blackish/purplish color. Love the pubescence on what looks like a tepin plant. I have a wild c.annuum I cannot identify that behaves the same way (tans really dark and is pubescent) except it grows conical peppers.
