chinense I "NEED" a good red c. chinense. Which is the most prolific?

[Bigoledude]

I only have room for about 3 more plants in my small garden area. I would like to use a red chinense type in these last few spots. There are many to choose from and, I don't have a clue which is best. Especially for this hades-heat down here later in the season.

The few I found that seem to be good choices according to the description on the sites offering them are; Red Savina, Caribbean Red, Congo Red, Red Habanero, Hot Paper Lantern.

What "red" is the best producer for you guys? It doesn't have to be one listed above. None of the "super-hots" are described as being especially productive. Is this so?

I'm growing carribean reds for the first time this year, and while I can't say from experience, I've heard it is a great producer.

 

[sudostahp]

I've got some Carribean Reds and Red Savinas that have done well so far. We'll see what happens to them come June.

 

[orrevs]

I would say Habanero to. And for superhots maybe Bhut Jolokia if you dont have that one already.

 

[JoynersHotPeppers]

I picked more Naga and Bhut's then I did red habanero's, same goes for the orange and golden as well. Only habanero plant that beat my bhut and naga plants was the white habanero.

I would say Naga Morich as well. Grew them last year (first year growing anything actually) and between 2 plants, I had over 300 total pods harvested.

I got about 10lbs of fresh pods off of 3 Caribbean Reds I grew last year. (Well, actually 4 but one only produced about 10 pods because it was in a cramped area and lost the battle for the sun to some other plants) They were much more productive than my scorps and bhuts but as you can see from the other posts here your results can vary.

 

[Jamison]

Car Red is a good choice IMO.

 

[Dulac]

7 pot, naga morich, or bih jolokia.

The most prolific Habanero I grew was the Habanero Tasmanian and I think seeds came form THSC.

Naga Morich, 7 pot barrackpore,

this year i try the Trinity (lower heat Habanero style pepper : LOok very productive! : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-g0NpTZSbw&feature=player_embedded

 

[feeltheburrrn]

Naga Morich as far as production goes.

yes the one you mentioned are great but i was not excited about the psper lantern hab, there not bad but you can do better
one thing can be said about the paper lantern and that is that it is very prolific, so are carribean red habs
red 7 pot or red scotch bonnet are very tasty and would be a great choice tou,but they are hotter than your average Hab


thanks your friend Joe

Include me in the group that loves CR's. Also, Grenada Hots are very good red chinense peppers. They are also hardy - mine are going on 4 years.

 

[windchicken]

+1 for both Caribbean Red and Naga Morich. Expect hundreds of very spicy and aromatic pods from a single plant of either of them...

Which one you pick depends on whether you like the "sunshiney" fruitiness of the Habanero or the estery wineyness of the Bhut/Naga types. I never get tired of either....

Naga Morich, 7 pot barrackpore,

Watching that video you posted led me to this:

I can't help it but this one made me laugh out loud.

 

[icebarker]

How about some Devil's Tongue Red or Red Fatalii. Or maybe a red Scotch Bonnet?

 

[vermont]

Dorset Naga might be a good choice.

 

[ajijoe]

must they be red?, i actually have found that there are species such as the below that taste better

devils tongue yellow
white giant hab
Australian lantern hab

thanks your friend Joe

Red Savina ripens to a pretty shade of red. They grow fast too and pod output is pretty high.
