Let's do a 7 Pot roundup

Hi All,
 
I've noticed bit of an increase in the number of chilli's that now seem to come as "choc" variety.
 
(Perhaps that's just me not being on the forums as much however :cry: )
 
It's got me thinking about my favourite chilli - the 7 pot.
 
Just for the sake of it, I thought I would have bit of a crack at the roundup of 7 pots out there:
 
the colours - red, yellow, orange, pink, burgundy, choc ("douglah"), brown, evergreen, rust, white
 
the phenotypes (did I get that right?) - jonah, defcon 7, daisycutter, brain strain
 
the regional sources - rennie, barrackpore, savannah, chaguanan
 
the simple hybrids (7 Pot x one other) - madballz, primo, bubblegum, savina 7, naga 7
 
the other hybrids (multiple crosses with the 7 Pot in there somewhere) - lucy, infinity + the multitude of others that I guess are too numerous to list here unless people want to chime in with their favourites or their own creations ?
 
Anything obvious missing ?
 
Regards,
 
Tim
 
 
 
 
 
 
Nice thread. I have a massive aversion to 7 pots because of the amount of varieties all under the 1 name. I don't think I'll ever grow a single one.
Some pics of each variety would be a nice touch though
 
BORG 9 ((red 7 x yellow 7) x (naga x Douglah)) , Defcon 7, WAL 7 (butch T creation), SB7J (scotch Bonnet x Jonah 7) and a plethora more.
 
Borg 9 is an interesting name - I watched a video of a chap in the UK review the Brainfunk which from memory is Borg 9 x 7 Pot Brain Strain!
 
So that makes a five way cross? Where does it stop :shocked:
 
There is a lot of ambiguity as new crosses emerge and stabilize, and other varieties lose their "purity."  Pepper growing is so distributed and anarchic, it would probably be hard to keep a straight list and clear list beyond your own inventory.  There is also some ambiguity between some "scorpion" varieties and "7 Pots."
 
Here was a picture I did last year of some of my 7 Pots...by no means perfect.

Beautiful picture of beautiful peppers! I love the color of the burgundy. That's one I really want to try. They all look delicious and extremely hot. Nice job!
