chinense Red Habanero ID

Pepper Ridge Farm

I received some beautiful Red Habanero pod from a friend two years ago and saved seeds. I grew them in 2008 and am not sure what I have. Are they Caribbean Red Habs or Red Savina Habs? I was told Red Savina but I'm still not sure and wanted to ask THP community. Any ideas from looking at these pics?

Most of the peppers are smaller and look like the second pic. The first picture was taken mid summer during a big harvest and those are my larger peppers. I am actually relieved you all think they are Red Savina. This plant was medium height and produced more peppers early in the year.
 
Here are some pics I found -

Caribbean Red - http://www.thechilligarden.co.uk/habanero-caribbean-red-chilli.html :IMO- look like yours

Red Savina - http://www.thescarms.com/hotstuff/redsavina1.gif :IMO- look like yours

Caribbean Red - http://www.earlmay.com/cart/viewitem.php?itemno=339929&catid=85 :IMO- don't look like yours

Red Savina - chilli tests ,, Red Savina Habanero - Neil tests one -
:IMO- look like yours

Red Savina - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Savina :IMO- look like yours

Red Savina - http://www.pepperfool.com/photos/rsavina.html IMO- look like yours

Caribbean Red - http://www.tough-love.com/caribred.html :IMO- don't look like yours

so in conclusion, I'm confused but my "guess" is you have Red Savina ;)
 
They don`t exactly look like the caribbeans I grew this year but either way you should be happy.Enjoy
 
I'm thinking Red Savina also. They look like the ones I grew this year and the size of the plant sounds right too...my plants were maybe 30" high (above ground) but produced many pods...

here is a pic of and 8 oz jar packed with them...

they look just like the ones I made poppers with, which was red savinas (at least I was told so, and they were forcking hot)
 
Thank you all for your help. I will plant these again with much more confidence. And they are HOT for a habanero and are a great base for many of my sauces. It is like receiving new seed when you find out what you already have.:)
 
You guys aren't serious. yes it looks like a Savina, but that's also how the Caribbean Reds look like. so you can't tell by just looking at it.

I can tell you it's likely to be a Savina, but only because you were told it is. other than that, there's a need for a taste, as the Caribbean Red tastes a bit different.
 
Oh yeah, I was just going by the last pic that didn't have all the dimples in it. I say just call it the Red Savina Caribbean.
