What kind of chili plant is this.
I ordered 4 scotch bonnets from hirts gardens. I got 3 bonnets, but
this 4th plant is a mystery.

how 'bout just responding here...

I don't know the variety and you won't either until it starts producing pods but...I will venture to say that is an annuum...can you get comparative pictures between the leaves on the others you got from Hirts?

note: assuming the scotch bonnets you bought were supposed to be chinense

looks like a heart shaped pimento type, but it could easily be a cross/hybrid

If any of you would like this variety
let me know. This plant has turned into a small tree...

It has a ton of green chilis on it.

one of them even turned chocolate color when it matured.
I wish i would have not let a friend eat it...........
I could have bred a whole new chili.

i looked up the pimento but, This one cant be a pimento. These are fireballs. They are hot! hotter than a habanero!

jack I got plenty of pods. right now they're all green so they blend in with the leaves.

Thats strange, I've never seen a C. annuum hotter than a habanero

You're eating green (unripe) annuum chiles and you think they're picante.......something is very wrong here.

I ate them when thier red.

when thier green they're at thier mildest.

This plant could very well be half Scotch bonnet, but what the other parent plant is I have no idea.


I had 2 plants grow from thai chili seeds

but when both started producing fruit, the chilis looked different.

Im working on comming up with a name for my plant if it turns out to be a new breed of chili. I am going to preserve this one.

It some what resembles a heart or an ACe like the ace of spades.

I have had many fresh from the Mesilla Valley pimentos in my life and none ever had any heat. Very sweet and meaty pepper.

this one is hot when u eat it green. Its a fireball when u eat them rippend red.

It doesn't show any C. chinense qualities, so even if was crossed with a C. chinense, the genes are obviously not manifested. I have not yet stumbled upon a C. annuum hotter than a Habanero.
