Yellow bhut.

[jjs7741]

Just got my first one to ripen while I was on vacation. All my yellows this year are a little dark, closer to orange though. Maybe the intense sun? IDK. Just got in town so too late for pictures today. Will post tomorrow.

so is anyone still growing this??

My neighbor has 3 plants...planted too close to the tomatoes though so production was limited this year. I got some pods (very tasty) and seeds from him and am going to be taking some cuttings to make clones in the next two weeks. I really like the taste and plan on having 5 or 6 of these in my garden next year.

How can you tell they are not fatalis?

How can you tell they are not fatalis?

I would imagine Jacob could tell since he has probably grown both, but he can answer that. They are sort of similar i guess since a fatalii like pepper is most likely the cross. In my opinion the fatalii is larger at the top were the step meets the pepper.
I know that my plant was definatly not a fatalii as the pods were different in shape.
I re-crossed the yellow bhut back with its parent(red bhut) and the plant is now budding. It will be interesting to see what i get.

 

[ZanderSpice]

Here's mine. I started one seed, grew one plant and it was yellow. I'm familiar with the Fatalii and this is not the same thing. My plant is almost identical to a regular Bhut while a Fatalii is much more compact. The heat was not there yet, but I'll wait and see.

 

[madhatter]

I totally agree. The fatalii plant is much more compact and the yellow bhut grew out huge for me too. I have both growing and took pictures for comparison. Will post tomorrow.

The YB is a little bumpy, thinner, rounder, and longer than the fatalli. The flavor reminds me of it, but it's hotter and more pungent.

 

[millworkman]

Ive got a few different plants and only one is growing like a true Bhut while the others are looking more like Fataliis.

 

[madhatter]

Here's a photo of both.
Fatalii on left and yellow bhut on right.

Weird, I would expect the Bhut to be a little larger than the Fatalii. Good comparison though, you can see the bumpier skin on the Bhut.
