Good looking pods! What's it taste/smell like?
Super Hots Canada said:
I think it is a cool little discovery.. though, judging by your photos, they don't look near as wrinkled & bumpy as regular Reapers. They look much more smooth, which is akin to the Scorpions. Maybe the seeds came from a mistaken cross-pollination or maybe it's some genetic anomaly - still a cool thing to share.
I'd say the ruffled feathers coming about from your post, if any, is that you did put it under "Promotions" and did basically put advertising your business before showing off the discovery. If you were just looking to share something cool you discovered (such as you are saying), then just focus on that and if people want to know more (like where to get 'em) then they'll ask and then you can let 'em know. Focus on the discovery

I guess you missed the first paragraph of my original post....i wanted to place it in another category like "Hot Pepper Talk", but when i do i get told it belongs in "Promotion"...so i just post here and let the mods put it where its ok to be
As far as appearance goes.... Im one of the largest (If not THE largest) grower of Super Hot Peppers in the entire USA...I have seen just about EVERY type of super by now...i have seen many "pod/pepper appearance" situations....and this just SCREAMS "Reaper" to me.....but what do i know???
mmcdermott1 said:Lol. Well I guarantee your not the largest grower in the USA (not even close)

This is supposed ot be about the original topic.....cant we just stay on track?
Wow....u live in a dream world Mike...u must think I don't know facts...u must think I don't talk to other people in the industry....Ed Currie has hundreds of acres of "pepper fields" u say?? Then how come last year, in ALL of 2013, he was only able to supply roughly 150 gallons of "Carolina Reaper" mash to CaJohn....someone whom Ed had "exclusive" rights with and I'm certain the biggest mash buyer that shopped Ed...only 150 gallons or so?? Rumor on the streets is CaJohn was scheduled to get over 1,000 gallons from Ed...Ed couldn't deliver... Mike, I can ship peppers next week (and every week after that) that would make 150 gallons of mash...gimme a break!! I LAUGH AT THAT STATEMENT Mike...puckerbutt is the largest?!? THAT IS PURE HUMOR TO ME! Ed Currie, The guy who can't supply anyone with anything, has hundreds of acres of super hot pepper plants?? The question was super hots btw too Not just "peppers"...mmcdermott1 said:Ok. First stop here for equal comparison. On way back stop at puckerbutt. Several HUNDRED acres of them. Several including me are just as big as you Dale. You nor I are even in the same league with Ed in terms of number of plants, supers or otherwise.

But then again, Ed not meeting his mash orders last year you should know PLENTY about, considering you grew for Ed Currie... Doesn't that make u partial to Ed as well?? Especially since ur growing for him again this year too? Hope CaJohn gets his mash this year Mike....if not I'm sure he will find it elsewhere like he did last year!
Shall I continue spilling info here Mike or can we just say that's enough? I considered growing for Ed when he asked me to, but I was too concerned his check wouldn't cash...ever lost sleep over that concern with Ed, Mike?? U don't need to answer that...I already know the answer! Shall I continue??
Man....I love drama!! Makes this site exciting!!

As much as it pains me to say it, I agree with mx right here.mx5inpa said:They look like the chocolate scorpion to me.
Baker what do you recommend I do with the single maroon colored Pimenta de Neyde (the rest are purple) I got this year?
Riighht and this is coming from a guy that doesn't make mistakes processing orders..And sells yellow 7s as yellow brain strains. And doesn't have any complaints against him...but hey he has tons of medals and awards that can be bought...BakersPeppers said:
I found this plant out amongst the whole section of "Reapers"...with ZERO chance it was originally planted as a "Chocolate Scorpion"...plus EVERY pod on the plant looks like these.
