Super Cayenne II Hybrid?

20 years ago

Anyone tried this variety? How did you like it? I ordered the seeds from tomatogrowers.com. Here is thier description for the pepper:

The original Super Cayenne was an ALL-AMERICA SELECTIONS WINNER. This improved version has longer, larger fruit (5 to 6 inches long), taller, more vigorous plants, and added disease resistance. Peppers still have great flavor and 50,000 to 60,000 Scoville units. 70 days.

So it looks like its suppose to have more/larger fruit and the plant is suppose to get bigger. Looks like the pepper is still really hot.

How hot do you think the pepper is compared to tradition cayenne peppers? Did you see a huge increase in production rate? How was the flavor? I want to make sure i made the right decision and don't have to reorder seeds because cayenne is one of my staple hot peppers that i use to make both hot sauce and dried cayenne pepper. Last year i could only find the peppers at one place "Long Slim" variety and they were not hot at all. My jalapenos which were right by the cayennes were hotter in fact. The tabasco by the cayennes were also fire hot. So anyways tell me what you people think.

thanks,
