To make a correction, I just ate one of them and it seems to be quite a bit hotter then a jalapeno but not as hot as a habanero. enough to give me cramps tho.

ID what? You say yourself that it is the ultimate mutt pepper.

Would you ask someone to name the breed of a Heinz 57 pooch from the pound? There's no answer to the question.

I was just hoping it would stand out to someone as being known as something. the other seeds sent from the same person really for the most part came out true to what they were labeled. Problem is i mixed the names up in the beginning so had to wait it out. had lisa pequin, da nang, kung pao, cherry pepper, cayenne, jaloro. all the other plants were relatively easy to figure out once they fruited but this didnt seem to match any of the names. Makes me wonder if its a mix between like a jalapeno and a chocolate habanero if thats possible?

Hi Yantz,

Interesting looking pepper. It's kinda hard to tell the size of it though. Looks to be about .75 x 1.5 inches?

Also, you refer to plant characteristics suggesting chinense. Which ones are you referring to?

Lastly, I think this pepper might have potential. I'd be interested in trying to grow it out, if you have any seeds to spare.

Anyway, thanks for sharing -- neat little pepper!

Roughly half of my NuMex Halloween ornamental peppers have that three lobed appearance, are of that size, and roughly that heat level (although it varies greatly).

Is that the color they ripen to, or will they change color if you leave them on there long enough?
