Species question

[RedtailForester]

I got my grubby little hands on some 'Po Cheong' peppers from a fellow THP member (I'm such a seed trade whore) but can't find any information on the little buggers. I would like to know what species they fall into. Anyone have any information / experience with these guys?

just the name screams Annuum to me but what do I know...never heard of it and it may just be a name the locals call it...

PO CHEONG
Tall plants produce abundant green to red medium heat, thick fruits. Excellent for slicing and pickling. Annuum

An early producing variety from Asia, plants grow quick and to bout 50cm in pots but get bushy over a few seasons producing mass’s of 6-7 cm pods, starting green and ripening to Red. The Flavor is a capsicum/applish taste and has a crunchy applish texture with a burn that stays. I really like this 1 and prefer it to the asian birds eye..

THSC also has a small thumbnail of it...

And look at that AJ, you were right on the Annuum.

Thanks for the info Chico!
