chinense Thorns on caribbean red habanero pod?

[manyu882]

Most of the pods have smooth surface. But this, seems like not normal to me.

It happens, not super common but it happens.

Never personally seen spikes on habs but I see them quite a bit on super hots. Cool

I see, feels so good touching it

Keep the seeds and grow them out to see if you can get 'thorns' again.

That will be a good idea.
Maybe we will expect something like this after generations:

One can only hope! haha

You will see them on various ajis frequently.

I have not had spikes on a Habanero, but have Bhuts and others.

Never seen them on habs but people love them on other pods.  It seems the scarier the better.  Grow those seeds!

I have carrot habs growing  that have 3-4 spikes on each one on average...

That's the thing with chillies, most people look for the shock factor, not the flavour.

Never heard of a carrot habanero.
 
Got any pics?

Friend, nice looking pods. Did all the pods have spikes? What percentage?
Try to stabilize it.

No, only few had spikes. As I recall, this plant produced two, maybe three hundred pods. There were maybe a dozen pods that each had a handful of spikes, but no other pods had as many as the one pictured. (All three pics are of the same pod, just different views).
 
I am growing out one plant this year from saved seed. Hoping it makes spiky pods.
