chinense Green Habanero [ripens to green]

[Spicy Mushroom]

Does anyone have any personal experience growing or tasting this puppy?
 

 
Vendor info:
 
We selected this variety from a cross of Habanero Herold St Barths with a brown Habanero. This is the only known very hot Capsicum chinense variety with pods that remain green upon maturing. Stable after several generations with a very good taste.

How do you even know they're ripe with this kind of ripe color?
Cool pods though.

Playing devil's advocate... if they are ripe green then why are they turning red in the picture?  It reminds me of a green bell or jalapeno that isn't ripe, it's just picked green because that's what people are used to at the grocery store.

What about 7 pot evergreen, and green scorpion? That says only very hot chinenses to ripen to green?

@Chile_Freak  I wasn't aware of those two. I guess that vendor isn't either! Thanks for mentioning them.
 
@Dave2000 Something must be wrong with the links because I don't see it turning red. Though there seems to be reddish brown undertones.

^  My point is that in that link, reddish brown undertones are not so different from the reddish undertones a green bell or jalapeno will take as it starts to ripen, that it's probable that if one merely waits a bit longer they would turn redder still.

At one time,this was one of maybe two chinense that ripened green. There are no less than 6 right now,guessing maybe more. Typical ripe color is greenish khaki. A lot of people are labeling them "mustard" now.

I just picked a couple of these today. They were a different shade of green than a month ago. Slight olive tone instead of the dark green before. Will taste in the next hour with my coworkers.

Later Mike

Just a little bit of bitterness, plenty of heat, otherwise hab flavor.  I'll leave the other on the counter for a couple days to see if it changes any more color.

Those green hornets Jamie is growing are pretty damn tasty, ripen to a camo green color! (Sorry whoever's seeds the green hornet are, I only know Jamie is growing them not who he got them from, I never asked)
