I've Datil'ed a few times in the past...
I think this was my first, from 2009. PI281435. Seeds from John Fiedler (@fiedlermiester) RIP
This is what a Datil looked like in 2012.
...there was also Datil Sweet.
...and some others.
So, I guess it's safe to say there is a lot of "variability" when it comes to Datil.
Is that what you grew from Pure Florida seeds?Interresting; here's what I've found about them (https://www.thechileman.org/results.php?find=Datil&heat=Any&origin=Any&genus=Any&chile=1):
I also grew Datil which did not look nor taste much like the Minorcan Datil!
I know there is another one called "Super Datil" but I have never grown it.
He grows 40% of his peppers and even has pictures of what he uses in his blog.Another company to hit up, they probably don't mind chatting about the datil.About | St. Augustine | Minorcan Mike's
Datil peppers have been apart of the O'Steen family legacy for generations. Minorcan Mike grew up in St. Augustine learning the ways of the datil pepper from his grandfather.www.minorcanmikes.com
No! I ordered these seeds from Atlantic Pepper Seeds. I already knew they were probably not Datils but I was curious to try them as I liked the way they looked. I got the yellow from mustard pods I harvested the year before...
Datil should be fruitier and tangier than a regular Habanero according to multiple sources.
Looks like a safe best.

ALSO, I GROW THEM IN ISOLATION FROM ANY OTHER PEPPER VARIETIES TO AVOID ANY CHANCE OF CROSS-POLLINATION.
MINE ARE 100% ST. AUGUSTINE ORIGIN DATILS.
In Florida they say it more like Dad-ul, otherwise none of those puns like DATIL DO IT (That'll do it) would make sense lol.The fakes are called Datil pronounced [ Dah-tul ]
The real ones are Datil too but pronounced [ Day-til ]
It's easy to get confusedI'm still confused...
Dat’l Do-it offered a “grow your own kit” at one point. Seen it watching the video below. Minorcan Mike even makes an appearance.As part of your research you might contact one of those old Florida sauce/jelly companies to see what they use. There's all kinds of companies with datil puns as their name (for That'll) and they've been around since the 80s or even longer. They usually sell jelly, mustard, and sauce. They are very specific about the datil they use and may even only know of that one type. Here's one of the ones I know of, one of the "bigger" (non-farmers market) ones. See what THEY say a datil is.
