Looks like it will ripen yellow or orange. If it is a chinense I have no idea what it is, its shape looks very annuum to me, but then theres the bumps and ridges. Looks like a chinense x annuum possibly. Love to see a cross section of it when its ripe!

i dont think so as the bhut carbons i have bought from members here were longer and i might be wrong but from the blushing on the one pod thye might ripen to yellow, is there even a yellow bhut carbon?

the pod that was blushing has turned even more orange/yellow. so i am wondering what species has an orange/yellow pod that looks like that? i will take/post a picture tomorrow!

The variation in pod shape makes it difficult, but there only several yellow C. chinense with that shape and if it is yellow, tasting it will definitely tell us which one. keep in mind some C. chinense go through a yellow-orange phase and then go red. we need to wait.

It does have a sort of annuum looking stem base, but looks mostly chinenses

ok ,so i could not wait any longer! i clipped the pod off tonight and ate half after dinner, as you can see the walls were not thin but not thick, very little seeds, it had a light citrusy flavor, juicy, heat took a few seconds to hit, it was a gradual burn for me, took 5 min to build, the peak lasted 2-3 min and a total 30 min till it became a tingle. i enjoyed this pod, the heat was hotter than my homegrown orange habs, but not as hot as the red devils tongue i tried this weekdend. here are a few pic i took before i ate the half. i wil test another pod once i get a rip one. i did notice that part of the pod was yellow orange and other parts were more yellow.
