Murupi doce

POTAWIE · Jul 22, 2008

Has anyone grown the Murupi Doce? I've got some growing but they don't look like other pics I've seen of them. They are growing quite well and the pods are different than anything I've ever seen. I can't wait to try them

Here's my biggest plant

And a single pod

Potawie that is very nice looking plant & pods never grow those Fatalli from Finland have seeds of those pepper I would like to get some seeds of those for next year.How hot those peppers are? Did you plant any Pimenta de Nayde they look cool too?

POTAWIE · Jul 22, 2008

No I never tried the Pimenta de Neyde but it looks interesting. The Murupi doce is said to be very mild but flavorful and used a lot for seasonings. I don't know if I got a hybrid or what but I sure am anxious to try some. Fatalii has some pic on his site which look a lot different and so does chileman

Potawie I think that is hybrid from Fatali but look very cool indeed.

That is not a Murupi Doce, but it looks like Murupi Red (a hotter C. Chinense strain). I am a member on a Brazilian forum and have seen many pics of it.

I'm growing some Pimenta de Neyde (Brazilian origin). The plant itself looks a bit like a Black Cuban. Can't wait to see some pods.

cmpman1974 · Jul 23, 2008

Yes, I did.

It's on the planned grow-out for 2009.

Last night I sampled a Pimenta de Cherry (or so it was labelled).
*sorry, I don't mean to jack the thread*

It turned out to be a smallish, canary yellow habanero. Delicious, but was it mis-labelled?

Its probably PIMENTA DE CHEIRO (PI 441518)
And cheiro means smell
