Funny thing is, after reading their site and all. It specifically says Dorset nage is NOT daga morrich, in contrary to the topic title, or am I missing anything here?Tina Brooks][quote=Remos][quote=darlochileman said:They also only sell immature green pods with no viable seeds - for obvious reasons!!!. I think they are planning to sell seeds in the future if their application to PVP the variety is accepted.
Remos said:That's what I suspected, thanks for clearing that up. hopefully they will get into selling seeds soon. Sounds like an interresting pepper to me, to say the leastand defintely one to try

Other than that, what a great topic!
darlochileman said:Arh!!!!!
But my question is:
Is the Dorset Naga really a different variety to Naga Morich? (the claim its a variant after many years of careful selection) Ive grown Naga Morich for the last two years now after originally obtaining the seeds from a bangladeshi importer (incidently the same one that suppliers Naga Morich Pods to the shop in Bournmouth were the Michards orginally got their seed/plant depending on which article you read) from.
In my experience there is much pod diversity on the same plant, I cannot see how you could careful select onlt the biggest pods so that furture plants only produce these pod shapes.Some are longer and more pointy than others but no matter what the pod size they are all the same heat (as far as I can tell as anything in this heat range all taste the same)
I have done no 'special pod selection' or any other jiggery pokery on the plants Ive grown, but can you spot the difference from the Dorset Nagas to the Darlo Nagas/ Chileman Nagas? (no Im not going to PVP the name)
Pod Diversity:

Imatre Pods:

Naga Cross Section:

Nagas in their thress maturity stages:

The only thing I would say, is that Naga Morich (and as far as Im concerned the dorset naga) does not mature to red. Its matures to dark orange. My bangladeshi friend confirms this is the case also.
Does anyone else think the red dorset naga looks a bit too red on their home page? Maybe thats why no one has ever seen a red one/they only green pods!

ChefEx said:Whew...Tina, I think someone hired you to post here. Nice questions Mark and good reponses. I learned that I need to learn a lot more on this subject.
DC said:Naga Morich was virtually unheard of a few years ago until I introduced it to growers on another forum in the UK. Its certainly better known and seeds are easier to come by now!!
I simathise with you. Actually, I once took a wee after cutting up peppers...needless to say, I think we ALL know what happened next.imaguitargod][quote=darlochileman said:The scary thing is Im desperate for a wee but Im going to have to hold on for a bit longer until the burn subsides as theres no way Im risking burning another sensitive area!!
