This plant was the last to go in the ground and it never got labeled. Thinking it maybe Paper latern but then it starting turning yellow. Chinense varieties don't usually do good for me so my guess would be a Baccatum of some sort but not completely sure.
Please help me identifying this pepper
- Thread starter Grass Snake
- Start date
My Beni Higlands still have that "hab" smell and a slight citrus flavor. Mine were also a bit smoother but i think you nailed it. Heat level is pretty close to Lemon Drop or Aji Cito but mine didn't taste much like a baccatum at all.

Maybe it didn't have a bacc flavor but I don't remember it having a strong Chinense flavor or odor.ShowMeDaSauce said:My Beni Higlands still have that "hab" smell and a slight citrus flavor.

They produce early and keep producing even late. They are more tolerant of cooler temps than many other habs.

That was my first thought when i seen his pics.
Chileplants.com calls them LIMON which is a chinense.

The chinense flavor wasn't strong on mine either. You could smell it though. Mine were hotter than a good hot serrano, very slight grassy and slightly citrus. A few might have been a bit hotter but none were anywhere near a orange hab heat level.
Super easy to grow.
I'm growing this pepper again this year for its performance. Really is a unique pepper
Been curious about these. I just started ask my chinense seeds and I got more than I can realistically grow; they'll have to wait till next year.
