loki said:They are open polinated, but the name is trademarked. The actual plant however is not patented as they are traditional peruvian varities - perhaps bred a little more for consistancy.
So you can grow them etc. just can't use the names commercially.

And then how did they grow for you. Thanks.

donpachi said:I grew the White Bullet (tm) last year. It was a much smaller bush than most chinense, being very compact and dense. I thought that the stems were a bit small and often seemed brittle when loaded down with fruit. It was extremely prolific as I was picking 4-5 pods off of it every day (placing them in my pocket to take to work) yet it produced much more peppers than I could ever eat. The flavor is a light, aromatic citrus note. It has a very high heat to pod size ratio, which I expect stems from the fact that the bulk of the pepper is receptacle and seed, having little actual pod flesh. Overall it was a nice plant and I'm growing a couple again this year.
