There is an ebay listing for TASMANIAN RED #1 seed (listing # 120628432982). Do any of you know anything about this pepper? Thanks guys!

The "Tasmanian habs" I believe were originally named by Pepper Joe and did not come from Tasmania or anywhere in Australia
I wouldn't recommend buying seeds off E-bay, theres just so much potential for scams with e-bay seeds. Avoid at all costs

I bought those a few years ago, and grew them last year and this year. They are pretty hot (100,000 SHU or so), but despite the claim of their identity, they are NOT a C.Chinense. Mine are straight up C.Annuum through and through. The peppers are very good, though, and add great pepper flavor to any dish.

Buy from a reputable source, not ebay. You never know what you are going to get, with a tiny number of exceptions.

Don`t be put off by buying from Australia. You will get the seeds very quickly from THSC.

I grew these this year.   If you don't mind open pollinated seeds PM me your addy.

I have them growing this year and they are C. chinense.

I have them growing right now. the pod shape is consistent with the pics and reviews I have seen. I am a little confused as to the question of annuum vs Chinense though. mine have 2 flowers off the first node. I thought annuums were limited to one per node.
