misc What's your most productive plant this season?

[cmpman1974]

OK, now imagine growing 40-50 varieties of bird peppers like I did this year. OMG. Ridiculous. Never again.

I here what you're saying Cheezy. I'm not planning on growing small pod varieties much anymore, I just can't keep up with pickin' em... and I love large C. chinenses

All my Caribbean red plants are 50+ pods a plant, some of them I have counted 100.

I'm very excited and will be growing these guys again next season

Lol, Now I knoew why that guy wanted to develop a hab crossed with a poblano! lol.

Here is the sauce (I thought of ps'ing the color since my camara can't seem to reproduce it, but that seems wrong. Really it is a neon hulkish yellow green!..........Yes, I bottled it!)*pay no attention to the date on the new camara!*

So far I have gotten about 370 pods off of what pepperjoe calls "Thai Sun", and the runner up is another one from pepperjoe called "Firecracker" that clocks in at a modest 168. Bolivian Rainbow and Datil have the #3 and #4 spots.

How did the bird pepper experiment go Chris? and which are your favorites?

 

[cmpman1974]

I chose a pretty broad category of bird varieties. This included ones like African Bird Orange, Macho, and other larger pod pequin types. I haven't tasted them all yet, but for plant size, productivity, heat, Macho is my favorite hands down.

I also like PI 438638, Mignon (C. Baccatum), Egyptian Pequin, Pequin from Baker's Nursery, Pequin from Puerto Vallarte, and McMahon's Texas Bird. Many of them are so similar you can't differentiate them. Others have totally different growth habits. Some get gigantic. Others are small bushes. All together, they make nice landscaping. lol.

Chiltepin Amarillo has been a real struggle and one I really was looking forward to it. It's a yellow Tepin type (C. Annuum). I pulled it into the greenhouse. It's very slow growing. I will overwinter.

[imaguitargod]

Well, it was the "Monster" Asain Birdseye, but now my Piquin has taken over as the champ.

My Early Jalapenos have done fairly well this year, not so much in quantity but in size. Some are so large, they look as though they crossed with a sweet pepper. This one shows that peppers can be a great Valentine's Day gift also... though I would suggest against giving one to your wife as her sole gift.

 

[rainbowberry]

I like that MalevolentMonkey it's got the same kind of shape as the Atomic Heart chilli.

 

[MalevolentMonkey]

It's strange, because most of my Jal's are mishapen this year. I'll post pics (smaller this time) of the others when they are red - some are freaking huge but don't resemble a Jal at all except in flavour...

 

[rainbowberry]

Talking about Atomic Heart I wonder if any of the Aussie's have grown it as it comes from Australia.

Whatever it is it looks damn nice
