I would like to find a source of Orange Plum seeds. Reimers sends too few, so I am looking for a larger supplier.

Also any info from people who have grow this plant please let me know.

It is listed as a 62 day Habenero! Also highly productive.
 
oh shit! thats not good to hear, reimers seeds. I was trying to figure out if it was the correct name "orange plum" last season. & I never looked at reimers because of their bad rap, but the place I got the plants from said they were orange plum hab type, dont know where they got them ? & now you say reimer sells them, thats not reasuring :oops:

but I never did find another chile that fully matched what I grew "orange plum" so maybe its just a newcomer to the market world ? even if its misnamed whatever it is its a good chile.

yea I grew it last year, I dont have a green thumb & the season is kinda short here but they put out a decent number of pods. nothing like a thai plant & more than some other hab types plants I grew. I only tasted 1 chile the rest were frozen for hot sauce, but the 1 I did taste was really good had a fruity taste to it, as for heat it had a decent heat to it nothing extreme but also not weak either.

about 3" - 3 1/2" long & about 3/4" - 1" wide at top


I dont know of where to get seeds but the place I bought from said they're gonna grow them again for this season
 
this is what I grew, picture taken early in the season & that was the 1st ripe pod on it.

2 different kind of pods I see, makes me wonder which is the right one ?
 
maybe my chile is a different chile, I dont know. but the place I bought from said that its a orange plum. being a F1 hybrid maybe I got a different pod shaped strain of the orange plum ? the place mister al linked to even says this " NOTE: This variety may display some genetic variability."
but whatever the case is, the chile I grew I like so I kepted seeds for just incase I cant find it again.
 
I found seigers - but 1000 seeds are alot - and the smallest amount to buy are 100 dollars of seeds. They are a commercial market grower seed supplier. May be worth it to split an order...

Also - the photo does not look at all like a habenero. I did find it with a search. Could be the genetic diversty? But it does not even look like C. chinense, altough that's hard to tell from only this photo.

I'll keep looking. If you find another source let me know. Google gets nothing, but the source might not have a searched web page. Thanks.
 
like I said I dont know what it is, I've did a search before & I found some chiles that it could be but I'm not 100% sure thats what they are, well ok 2 choices - but some people that grew 1 type said no it dont look like one of the choices. so back to having no clue as to what it is.

as for my plant/chile not looking like a habanero, you're correct but I never said it was a habanero! I was told its a habanero type/chinense. by the way all chinense chiles or habanero type chiles do NOT always look like a habanero ;)

if you know its not a orange plum & know what I grew please tell me.
 
BTW, The only reason I want to try Orange Plum is because it's said to be early. But I tried another hybrid (Orange Devil), and it did not even taste like a habenero. So it was a waste of time. Maybe they get it to be early by outcrossing to other Capsicum species.

If anyone else know of other 'early' habenero types (with the fruity, even solvent-like aroma) post too.

Thanks.
 
Well, I ordered the Golden Plum seeds. So I now have Extra Seeds I will offer pkts on Ebay - as the minimum order was 1000 seeds and $100 worth total.

I also ordered SWEET HEARTS Grape tomato and Sara Serrano (an early serrano) and a few other non-chile or tomato seeds.

Later.
