sorry..just looked it up, they are cousins with different flavers. bonnets are used to flavor jerks..

i have only tasted them in jamaican jerks, never fresh....id like to get some seeds to grow :)
 
as of right now, true jamaican as that is the first one to pop through soil. this year i purchased true jamaican and foodarama from peppermania. i do have 2 year old red scotch bonnet plants that i am expecting big yields from in 2012. i don't expect the yellows to produce until 2013.

They are both different types of C. chinenses. Similar but not the same.
My favorites have been the "TFM" and the "True jamaican" but SBs are never very productive for me so I rarely grow them anymore
 
Curious....Peppermania sells a "Jamaican SB" where is the "True" coming from from? Is this the same pepper Beth sells?
 
"True Jamaican" is just a name for 1 Scotch Bonet type brought back from Jamaica by a member of another forum. I'm not sure if thats what Beth is selling or not but I'm sure she'd be happy to answer any of your questions
 
Thanks Potowie. It's just that Burning Colon's comment threw me a bit as I never saw a "True" Jamaican SB listed on Beth's site.

To contribute to this thread, between Foodarama and TFM I definately favor the TFM. It's was a good producer and provided the most SB flavor of all the SB's I've grown thus far.
 
TFM is the only SB I've grown, it's prolific with great flavor and pod size. I will be growing these plus Foodarama this season. I would like to try others in the future but need to have some discipline on the number of varieties in the pepper patch.

?: SB seeds are the most stubborn seeds to germinate of all the peppers I grow. Once started, they do fine and develop into a rather large and robust plant. Anyone else experience this?
 
I've only grown the True Jamaican, or as Beth calls it, the TJSB. Excellent chile—This year I am doing a large production grow (18-24 plants), dedicated to feed stock for chile/lime puree. Also, in that same genre, I'm planting smaller test grows (4-6 plants each) of Bahamian Goat Pepper, Bonda ma Jacques, and Foodarama Scotch Bonnet. Best way to learn your favorite is to just grow all of them!

Here's a couple of TJSBs from my 2011 Grow. Like I said, an excellent chile that is sure to please you:

Growing THSC's 'Trinidad Yellow' SB this year... Though they're a little small at this stage.
Has anyone tried their hand at these?
 
Thanks, Rodney! Your use of the past tense is sure to get me moving! I need to live in the present!

Setting seeds this weekend...I'm having a hard time finalizing my grow list. Seems like it changes every day...
 
I think I can clear some of this up, the TJSB was from Allen Boatman in FL. , he had searched for years for it before
he was able to isolate TJSB. The Trenton Farm market was a find from Mark, (groovy1 on garden web) the same guy who
sent me the original Trinidad Scorpion seeds, from which all the BT's were evolved from. I'm pretty sure the Foodarama's SB
was a find of Beth's tho I'm not a 100% on that one. There was another which was Phil Hoffmans SB which was just like the others with smaller pods and a slightly lower production, imo. BTW this is one of my favorite peppers as far as flavor!
