For those interested in breeding, I am here showing off my quite successful cross thus far, the "Nagaquin" - a cross betwen Naga Morich and Pequin de Ischia.
I am breeding small-scale and working on a lot of different crosses, but with this want to encourage others to start breeding themselves - even though I only grew out 6 F2-plants this year I was able to find a selection that matches my criteria. I am trying to create a very hot, drying/powder variety that does well even in a cold summer here in Denmark. This is a great improvement over both the Naga Morich and Pequin de Ischia to me, because I am not able to grow chinense-varieties with great success most years and Pequin de Ischia I find too small when it comes to yield and picking. This F2-selection did well even during one of the coldest summers for years, so I am thrilled.
Drying nicely on the plant...
