No. Those look like Thai. Sorry not Reapers.

Did you buy Amazon?

Ronnyb123.... Can u plz post a pic of what juvenile reapers look like? These peppers aren't very old, or quite 1" long. I don't know what they're supposed to look like right after the dry petals drop off. It would be good to have a reference for future plants

Annie,

None of my reaper plants produced for some reason (now I will overwinter those) so I have no pics from my collection for you. There are plenty of others here that have photos. There are also plenty of reaper threads that show the pics. Here is one.

Doesn't look like my Thais. They grow in bunches...

There are plenty of Thai species out there or one that is similar to this one. Mine grew upward like those as well. Well, for sure it aint a reaper.

Your sounds like a poinsettia or Japone thai chili. Those grow in clusters.

Grown them for years. Thai Hot. When they dry, they do look like the "Japones" that you can buy in Hispanic markets. Flavor is somewhat different.

My plants don't look like that... The leaves are much larger, and the plants are a lot taller. What I had asked was what the BRAND NEW pods (within days of petals falling off) on Reaper are supposed to look like, not for a pepper ID. I know what the mature pods look like. Mine still have a while to grow, whether they're Reaper or not... So if anyone does have pics they can share of baby reaper pods, please post them, so that I can see how they grow, as I am unable to find pics from this stage online. It's either plant, or ripe, red pods. Thank you

Scroll down that thread until you get to the second set of pics.

Aren't Thai & Vietnamese, and japonese peppers HOT?? My 4yr old decided to sample some of these strange peppers yesterday, and wouldn't quit til I tried one myself.... They have NO heat whatsoever!!

My Thais that look very similar are pretty hot when ripe. When green, no heat at all, they taste kind of like a bitter bell pepper. They took quite a while to ripen. Just sit tight and wait until they turn red. Even when mine were half red, they weren't very hot.

that at same plant now

If they have no heat then it is a type of ornamental pepper. If they ripen to orange, yellow, and red colors it is probably a poinsetta type. They are pretty as can be with no heat, and a bland taste that leaves a slightly bitter aftertaste.

Centexan254... The pods are still very green, and the ones my son ate were barely 2" long. The rest have gotten between 3-4" long, so I'm guessing they were far too immature to judge the heat level! I will sample again once they start turning & share the result
