i grew it last year and the year before production at peak is unimaginable atleast it was for me, it looked like it had as many pods as it did leaves
 
heat is respectable there quite hot, but im not sure where they rates exactly?
 
the plant got huge!! about 4 1/2 feet tall
 
i dont have a pic of the plant itself but i do have one pod pic pm me if you wanna see it
 
thanks your friend Joe
 
Hey Rob

yes it is a very vigorous plant had no trouble with it at all both years running,get ready to pic alot of pods
 give it lots of room it will want it and will overshadow smaller plans if there too close
 
your going to like it there kinda tomato(ish)in texture and flavor is preaty good too, once there ripe they soften very quickly and fall off easily
 
glad i could help
 
thanks your friend Joe

 i agree with u Joe, this kind of peppers are the most productive of any wilds i have grown 
 
Here's a few for you Rob.

This one was forgotten which one it was. Lol... Pic from Riku a friend from the Wilds group on Facebook.



This one is from Levent Cerci also a great photographer. This one is the Praetermissum from Semillas La Palma.





Shoot me a PM if you want to join the wilds group. Or anyone. Just PM me ;).

thanks everybody and really that is interesting judy I have both chiltepin and a cumari pollux in the ground as of now so I will see how they do in very harsh conditions during summer so far they all look great. im hoping to be picking hundreds of cumari pollux pods they are my absolute favorite pepper I have tasted. with my long season im thinking it will have tons of time produce enough.

make a single species sauce with them, that would be great!!
 
I think that and freezing them for whole use will be my main way of use for them and I would love to grow wild brazil but chinense hate me :confused:
 
I'm not sure how tolerant they are to a Vegas sun and heat. What is really? Jumping cholla? Hah Most of the time the leaves will tell you how tolerant they are to conditions. The velvety praets aren't well suited for extreme sun and they definitely suffer more in the cold and frost.

I think you are doing the right thing by growing inground. Pile on the mulch and invest in some type of shade cloth.

They all are productive,some more than others. The PI 441654 that Judy posted is super productive and grows larger berries. Very tall plant and less hair and waxier leaves than others praets.

I honestly have no choice but to grow inground way too hot in pots found out last year unless I grew indoors which I would rather not I will be building a shade cover that is more stable to winds than the last one I had. which is better do you think wood mulch or leaves I have no shortage of leaves but was thinking of doing wood mulch or rocks as an alternative? a lot of stuff gets murdered around mid summer just trying to find a way to get plants to stay alive past that time.

they do like a little shade and really dont mind it
 mine only got morning sun for about 4 hours a day and they did wonderfully in fact better than the following year where they got more light
so maybe if you can find a particially shaded place for them you wont have to worry about the heat as much??
they are very hardy and adaptable
hope this helps
 
thanks your friend Joe
 
they will get 3 to 4 hours of sun in the morning and about an hour at around 3 so I think that's enough time but not too much
 
I grew one 2 years ago. It grew about 6ft and very bushy in full sun. It took a very long time for the fruit to ripen, but it had tons of em. The birds ravenously feasted on them :( as soon as they ripened.
 
I totally agree with John, I have all my Praetermissums in my balcony and get like 2-3 hrs of sun and partial for the rest of the day. They're all getting pretty thick and tall.

Any plant and I mean any isn't gonna be happy with temps being up in 110's so mulching and shade cloth should be a must.

I have that PI 441654, that plant seems more Baccatum than Praetermissum. I had someone send me a link where it says it was reclassified as Baccatum var Baccatum. But others chimed in with pics of the berries and flowers and they look just like any other Praetermissum.

About the waxy leaves, take a look a it. It's not that pubescent and leaves look more like a Baccatum.



Again we should share notes since we both live in Vegas and we an certainly come up with something that'll work for both of us ;).
