What kind of pepper is this?

WalterEl · Jun 6, 2016

I bought some Carolina reaper seeds a couple months ago and grew them. The plant is a couple feet tall now, and it's producing fruit. The only problem is that it isn't Carolina reapers. So, can someone tell me what these are? Thank you. Here is some images:

to THP! Looks like an annuum, possibly a Thai pepper. I had a Thai pepper plant last year that looked just like that.

Let me guess: the seeds are from ebay?

Welcome. Well it's not a Carolina deeper but it's a good looking pepper plants worthy of keeping and eating. Try Tradewinds Fruit for your seeds. There are not perfect ( cheep and carry a lot of different varieties ) but better than ebay

*shrug* It's an Annuum. So not even the same family as the Reaper. Sucks, but these things happen. Still, it's probably a good pepper.
