Chocolate Varieties...

Hey Guys and Gals,
I currently have a 6'x6' raised bed. Next year I will be replacing the 2 rows of pots I have now with a 3' or 4' x 24' raised bed. As a result, I plan to fill the 6'x'6 bed with strictly chocolate varieties. I will have 2 Douglahs, 1 Chocolate Habanero, and 1 Pasilla Bajio. I was also hoping to include 1 Chocolate Fatalii and 1 Chocolate Bhut Jolokia. I know it is early, but I figured I would ask if you guys can keep me in mind when you save seeds for these two varieties? I would be more than happy to give you seeds from any of the varieties I have (once I have ripe pods). Here is a link to what I have...

Oh I also should add that if you don't want to trade for any of the varieties I have I will be more than happy to send a SABE.
Thanks
Josh

I have chocolate fatalii. but no pods for a while

That certainly is not a problem. I won't be germinating them until the 2010 season anyway. I guess I will bug you come harvest time.
 
I got some things for you Josh...or at least I will come harvest...Chocolate Fatalii, Chocolate Habajolokia (from Talas), and Chocolate Scotch Bonnet...I think thats all the chocolates I am growing this year...my chocolate habs didn't make it...

Please do!!!! I will also bug you about some douglahs:) EDIT: I also recieved the XL choco hab from someone so you can have some of those too once i get pods
 
I'll save seed for the Chocolate Fatalli for you Josh. I'm sure there will be lots of requests for this one next year. AJ I have had trouble with my Chocolate Habanero also, pods are ripening a dark orange/red. Ohh well I have Chocolate Scotch Bonnet and Douglah to play with this year. I love the way chocolate pods look on a plant, a whole bed full of pods will be beautiful.
 
I love the chocolates too but I found the Chocolate Scotch bonnet, chocolate hab, chocolate Caribbean, brown hab, and Congo brown to be very similar, and is the chocolate fatalii not a hybrid?
 
I've got Congo Browns and Long Choc habs. Neither one has ripe fruit yet so I'm not sure how pure the seed is or if they're hybridized.

I'm quite sure I've read somewhere, that the Chocolate Fatalii is a cross between Fatalii (shape) and Peruvian Chinense (color), crossed by a guy from Finland.


Josh: Hello again! Apart from Fatalii Ch and Bhut Jolokia Ch, I'm also growing Ch Cherry and Habanero Ch Long + a number of other brown varieties.

Drop me a reminder when the time comes!

Best wishes René

Yep Peru Chinese cross loses the fatalii taste unfortunately...:(

Working on my own version or versions
 
What's the difference with the Chocolate variates. I ordered a bunch of choc hab / choc fat seeds, but have yet to get any going as i'm waiting for my current seeds to go outside. Is their a big difference in taste? I have never tried any of the Chocolate variates yet.
 
A lot of the chinense chocolates taste similar with a great hot smokey flavor, but there are some types that are quite different as well

Thanks. It just stinks that the Chocolate Fatalii is a cross. I didn't realize that.

Of course Josh..look me up. :)

Cool Chris. I guess I should have known you of all people would have them.

Dammit...temping me with even more chocolates. I may have to take you up on that Chocolate Scotch Bonnet and Habajolokia. If they don't fit in the chocolate bed I am sure I can find a spot for them somewhere else.

No problem. I already have you down for some Douglahs.

Yea those were my thoughts exactly. I am actually fairly excited about it already and I am not even halfway through this season yet.

Hi Josh

I have Choc Bhut and choc hab and just got seome seeds of Choc Fatalli. Once they all fruit we can trade if you like? I'd be interested in the Douglah a.t.m

I will probably take you up on that offer. I figure that way your Chocolate Fataliis will breed true. Either way I have you down for Douglah seeds.

Very cool. I will have to think about it. I posted this looking for 2 varieties and now I am overwhelmed with all types of chocolate offers. Just wondering where I will be able to put them all.

Ah that is too bad about it being a cross. Thanks for pointing that out though.
I will let you know about your offer in a few months. I figure I will probably ask the people who live closer. It will save on postage. Besides, you were already very generous with those Brazilian Bonanza seeds.

I guess you are not happy with the flavor. Is it worth growing, flavor-wise that is?

I know you were talking about the taste of Chocolate Chineses but what are your thoughts on the Pasilla Bajio. I believe you once described it as tasting like raisins. That sounds interesting to me.




I am going to wait until the Fall to do trading. I know I should have waited until then to post this thread, but as I said to PRF I am excited about this chocolate bed. Thanks again for all the nice offers. I will be sure to revive this thread and bug you all again when the time comes.
 
I love chilacas but I think I like the regular ones more than the pasilla bajio. I also love the brown/black poblanos (mulato + negros) they all seem to taste kind of earthy and raisiny to me
 
Sorry the choc fatalli aren't ones I sell so not sure bout the purity.It was from someone else here, have only just planted them so will have to wait and see what they look like. Just thought when they fruit I would pass them on since I have been helped out too.
 
Josh, please don't forget to hound me for those seeds! Hell, I'd almost forgot about them till i saw this thread again today.

Oh alright. Well with them being a hybrid hopefully I can get some true seeds. I will still be sure to set aside Douglah seeds for you.

Definitely...I will send you a bubble envelope with your douglah seeds and you can send it back to me with the chocolate seeds.
