Without severe genetic manipulation (although theoretically possible with grafting...except capsaicin isn't present in the trunks/root system) it's not possible. It's difficult enough making interspecifics with Capsicums, you're further complicating it when you're trying to make intergenera crosses...moruga welder said:i really digging the idea of a super hot crossed with a tomato and getting spicy tomatoes from the get go !
yea i know , but i can still dig the idea ! it is my pipe dream ! lolHelvete said:Without severe genetic manipulation (although theoretically possible with grafting...except capsaicin isn't present in the trunks/root system) it's not possible.

It happens with animals though...Ligers...Zonkeys...Mules (edit, my mistake, those are all interspecific rather than intergeneric)
You never know.
