I'm growing a few plants that are supposed to be Bondas, but to my eye they look more like Fataliis - but it's my first year growing these. Anyone know for sure what these are? Tnx



 
i think you have the real deal. here is a photobucket link with some varying pictures.

thanks, guys!

How big are the pods? I'm growing both Bondas and Fataliis this year and the Fataliis are quite a bit larger...

I don't have a direct comparison; I grew Fataliis in '09 and '10 but not this year, and '11 is my first year with the Bondas. They seem to look about the same size as Fataliis, but pods grow a bit smaller than typical, in my limited-sunlight garden. Should be interesting to taste - I don't know what to expect from them, heat-wise. Can't wait for a few of them to ripen. The last couple of years we made Fatalii coconut fudge cookies; will probably cook up a bunch of Bonda cookies in a few weeks.
 
I don't think I have any Bondas getting over 2 1/2 inches long, I'll make a comparison with a ruler tomorrow... but either way a good pepper.
 
My Bondas max out at 2 1/4 inches in length. No pods on my plant are larger than this and it's growing in the ground. The Fatalii is more like 3 inches. How long are your pods at this point?
