• Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
    Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧
    Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.

like no pepper youve ever seen befor...

I would have to say for me this has been the Serrano pepper. I only have one plant but in a couple of days I will be harvesting my 5th round of pods since I planted it back in April. It has given me more peppers than any of the others by far.
 
another option, if your friends have a minimum of a greenthumb. you can create bonsai out of your pepper plants and give them :P just look for bonchi on google and you will find a lot of information on the creating of a chile bonsai :P
It's really beautifull with small sized pepper like the bird's eye, tabasco and others like them :P
 
For me, superhots produce less but part of this may be the longer ripening time cut short at the end of my growing season for pods produced later than 2/3rd of the way through the season.

Beyond that it is mostly about soil quality and amount of sunlight (plus a good growing season). These matter more than the specific pepper, grow what tastes good to you and keep in mind that if your friends are chiliheads they will appreciate the hotter varieties but if they aren't, you may not be sharing more than one pepper with them.

Personally, I prefer not to grow things like Cayenne, Tabasco, or White Habanero any longer because the small pod size makes for a lot more labor processing them if you wish to remove the seeds or check for mold inside. Sure they look prolific but when it comes to pod weight per plant per season they may not actually produce much if any more.
 
Tobasco just about wins the race for prolific, but I have a wild C. chacoense this year that stated producing early spring from a small one foot plant, now its 4ft.tall and must have over one hundred 1/4 inch pods on it I'll be glad when frost takes it.
As I'm growing some super hots most of my friends have banned me from sharing, except for my brother and his crazy son.
come up with a new super hot and he sticks it in his mouth and falls to the floor whimpering like a little monkey. God you'd think he would learn when I say crazy hot, its hot and it will make you cry. Any way my Ghost pepper is producing loads this year better than what it has in the past so I guess that makes it a pretty prolific super hot.
