I bought the seeds from Joes Pepper Palace so I'm hoping it's a real Reaper. However it doesn't look like it!!
This is suppose to be a Carolina Reaper ?!?!

I have quite a few pods and none of them have blisters or tails?
The picture you posted needs better focus on the pod itself. From what I see the pod looks pretty smooth, with possibly some lobes near the bottom but no tail and irregular ripening across the surface. Habanero is the first thing that comes to mind. That said, the leaves do look C. chinense, so you have that going for you.
Typically a Carolina Reaper will present with fairly prominent skin blisters even if it doesn't have a tail.
Out of 10 seeds this was the only one that actually made it! Sad to think that it's not a Carolina reaper... smhKingLeerUK said:
