Howdy Aileen, your lucky day, no need to google and be taken down the path of confusion, click my link below and I believe about page 3 you will find a couple distinct pictures of kung pao and ceyenne.
Notice the leaves and fruit of the kung pao so distinctively long and slender, side by side you could tell the difference.
Unfortunately, Mr. Kung Pao did not survive my over winter tactics, though in the past kung pao has never survived any overwinter attempt on my part - Mr Ceyenne did however and today I am crunching on health fruit and it is still in full blossom.
Kung Pao is interesting in the fact it delivers plently of long slender fruit, it is not really hot, yes it has bite but in the terms of heat you can survive crunching on a pod with little remorse. The product is really nice just to chop it up and add into a chicken meal, Jambalya, beef stew etc., without regrets. The flavour is not that unsimilar from Ceyenne where the fruit is pungnet in flavour, harsher than a bell pepper but lacking any kind of sweetness.
Yesterday I tasted pods of, suryanki cluster, ceyenne and super chili; the suryanki was sweet with very little heat(this I believe from cultivar), super chili had pungnet flavour with heat but not requiring a glass of water to cool my mouth and the ceyenne had heat with pungnet flavour but caused deep breathing of air to cool my lips and surrounding mouth. Remembering my past experience kung pao had the same effect. I would purchase kung poa again as long as I had very little to do with the plant, though it did produce a lot of fruit overall it wasn't worth the time and effort I put into all my other plants. Though I do grow my own from seed, I purchased the kung pao plant and as long as it was less that $2 per plant nothing was really lost.
