Trying to create new, more ornamental varieties using the Italian Mazzetti cluster/cut bunch-type as the model...

These look awesome Donnie. Are you trying to find one that mature to white/pale as the final color? Or do you want to keep them red?

Wow! That is awesome!

What is the Mazzetti? I've never heard of it. It looks very interesting though.

They are two different types. One matures from black to cream/pinkish, the other from black to red. This is the black to red type http://thehotpepper.com/topic/51883-another-clustercut-bunch-variety-under-development/?hl=%2Banother+%2Bcluster. Trying to stabilize both types plus adding a yellow, orange and brown type.
This a type of pepper which is cultivated a lot in Italy, there are many varieties. Mazzetti varieties all set pods in clusters, STUARD in Parma offer quite a lot of varieties.

They are normally annuum and flavorwise I have tried some that taste cayenne-like and some Pequin-like, they are generally very hot and good for drying. I am working on some dark-leaved types with chinense-like flavors that also dry well. Link to Stuard in Italy http://ecommerce.pepperparma.it/pages/home.aspx?lang=ENG
