chinense Largest/size Habanero variety?

[hector.jacob]

Is the Congo trinidad(red,yellow, brown/chocolate) the largest hababero variety? what's the average weight?

 

[Beaglestorm]

Technisem a French seed company markets two big ones ... Avenir (average size 19g) and Big Sun (average size 18g). Never seen any data on the average size for the congos but they are huge.

Here is their website:

Technisem.

Beth at Peppermania also sells a huge yellow and red hab if I remember correctly.

Red savinas I grew averaged 20 grams from garcias seeds.

Habaneros are a specific C. chinense variety which are usually always very similar in size and shape.
For largest C. chinenses, the largest I've grown is the Guadaloupe "hab"

All Congo trinidad red,yellow, brown/chocolate are cap chinenses
Not all cap chinense are habaneros

thanks willard3 for the correction.

looking at pictures of growing logs,harvests here, seems congo trinidad end up bigger then the other habaneros. Guadalupe, Cleo's dragon, and Mustard are comparable in size with congos.

Some of the giant red savinas, both of these weighed in around 50 grams

I have to agree with Potawie. The Guadeloupe where very large and cool shapes to them too. Congo yellow and red where huge and also the golden habs i grew where quite massive.
