baccatum What's the consensus on Sugar Rush Peach?

[NJChilehead]

Over the years, I've tried a few C. baccatum but keep falling back on the old C. chinense favorites, as well as a few C. annuums for variety. I've never quite caught the spark for C. baccatums despite trying a few over the years. There is a little variation in feedback on Sugar Rush Peach, although it mostly seems to be very positive. What's the consensus from the experienced growers on this type? Is it all that it's hyped up to be in the seed catalogs?

what you read could also be referring to the fact that many baccatums, to some people, will have a soapy taste to them. obviously that would make it yucky when fresh if that is the case for you.

I wonder if (a) that's a genetic thing (like cilantro), and (b) if that's the case with me. I didn't really care for them.

I dont think there is a direct correlation because some C. baccatum like SRP, Aji Fantasy and Aji Habanero (just to name a few) don't taste like soap at all to me while others do and I really enjoy the taste of ciliantro

If you mean correlation with cilantro and peppers, I don't have any problem with cilantro.

We should do a survey on cilantro - yea or nay. I'm a nay.

As far as SRP goes, I don't think it lived up to the hype. Said a different way, I grew it once, and it is not on my "grow again" list.
