Spanish pepper i.d.?

Hi,

just been into our local Wilkinsons store (supermarket), and seen this poor chap dying on the shelf, probably not seen the sun since it was a seedling! As it was reduced from Ã¯Â¿Â½5 to a Ã¯Â¿Â½1 'cos it's half dead, thought i'd try to revive it. The label says Spanish chilli, but that could be anything - any ideas folks? It's about 18inches, says it grows 50cms - 70cms? The leaves are huge! Will it be hot or sweet?

Any help appreciated, thanks, Rich.

I dont know if that container is the one it came in or not, but I would think it could really use something a little bigger. Good luck with the Pepper ID but you will likely have to wait for some pods to get a good ID.

It could be and it could not be. We'll be able to "narrow" it down better once you get pods.

Ok cheers, will post some photos when it's got pods on, if it survives... I have re-potted it today, it was in a tiny pot. Also given it a dose of chilli focus. Fingers crossed!
