I grew Giant Thai from Parks. It did not have striations, pods were 1" x 2-1/4" and very hot.

Interesting. Our GTH are 1.5" around by 3.5" long, with white striations wrinkling the skin, and they're a tiny bit hotter than Jalapenos.

The mystery pepper is like a miniature version, without the striations, a glossy dark red. Peppers are supposedly quite promiscuous, so this one may be a field-cross of the Bird Pepper.

Whatever, it's too hot for me. I couldn't taste anything but heat. I saved some seeds to grow it again, so I'll see what I get.

If you can post a photo,i fancy my chances of id it.Cheers
I know all the hot peppers.

This is the only pic I have, dood, before it ripened. Ripe, it was bright glossy red, like a GTH. Pendant, as you can see, unlike the bird peppers, whose seed it came with.

hi,well you got me stumped! cheers

Blame it on Mother Nature!

the question is, is it hotter than a habanero? if so, i think we need a rating higher than 10

Update..I harvested up to 75 seeds from each fruit on this critter, and grew out a half-dozen plants this year. All of the plants were between 8" and 12" tall, and bore 8-10 fruits each, with a maximum length of 1.5". Fiery red when ripe, and pendant, just like last year. I gave them the sunniest spot in my garden this year.

I dried a few dozen of them, and flaked them, along with some Bulgarian Carrot, Thai Hot and Jalapeno. The flake mix is extremely hot..hotter than any commercial mix I've tasted. I'm not a good heat judge, because I'm just starting on hot peppers, and have a fairly low tolerance.

If anyone wants to try growing these, in a more pepper friendly climate, I have a few 12 seed trades available. I'll swap for just about any pepper I don't already have, and will grow in my zone 7 coastal climate.

Email me. I'd love to get a positive ID on this thing.

Merry Christmas!

My Giant Thai Hot's and regular Thai Hot from Parks didn't have any white striations either....both peppers are fire cracker hot and mature around the same time. The only difference is the Giant Thai peppers are about 1.5 to 2" long while pointing downwards and the Thai Hot are .5 to 1" and point upwards.

Does anyone know the name of a small black pepper shaped like an acorn. It has small gold colored beads around the top. The plant itself is all black or deep purple. This pepper's heat cracks teeth.

I love hot ones, but if it cracks teeth, I'll shy away. Don't need a $1,000 dentist bill! lol. I have cracked a tooth or two before and do not find that enjoyable.

I know Red Long Cheyanne I tasted last year was the hottest I've tasted but I'm a small timer here. The very second I bit into a tenny part of it I was in tears and had hicups it was so dam hot.

I even had someone who eats hot peppers like water try it and he said it was the hottest he's tasted.

I got it in a Hot Pepper Mixture from Burpees and it was the Long Red Cayenne. Sick.

not sure but i think i saw some little black chile's in the Reimer seed catalog online. ill be ordering some of their blue and purple chile seeds later this spring.
