Chapeau de Frade and Uba Tuba

[kentishman]

Perhaps some of you experts can help me with this question. Are Chapeau de Frade and Uba Tuba (Christmas Bells) different names for the same pepper? Last year, I got seeds for Uba Tuba from NMSU and they grew and produced well for me. Hot Stuff is generously offering seeds for Chapeau de Frade, but I don’t want to take his seeds if they are the same as Uba Tuba. If they’re not the same, how do they differ? Thanks for any help!

Odds are if they're not exactly the same they'll be very similar. To narrow down the differences you'll need to ask Hot Stuff for some photos to compare to the Uba Tuba you grew.
