they are somewhat slow to germinate sometimes. i think of them as an edible ornamental. grew it last year, but it was not a good year for peppers. too wet here ...

So not crazy hot, then?

I have them - and if it's the same thing that I grow - they are DARN hot - they rival the super hots easily! After 2 years the pods that I dried still have visible droplets of capsaicin on them. CRAZY HOT - at least the one that I have. I grew up in Trinidad and there are a couple different varieties.

I just posted a post about bird peppers.. Mine are the small round ones, not the oblong ones.. Need advise on how big they should be to transplant.. Bill

Hi I'm from Trinidad. I also plant these Bird Peppers from seed. Not many know that it can be grown by seeds directly from the fruit, as it's beloved to only grow after fermentation in the birds stomach.
I've been growing bird Peppers for over 20 years from seed.
Trick is to pick the ripe Peppers on a Pisces day before Full Moon, not in Dark Night, for best germinating seeds.
They are air dried and planted in seedling soil like promix on a Pisces, Cancer, or Scorpio Moon.
Transplant seedlings on Pisces Moon in Moon light before full moon for best results.
And as a family to the Mexican Chilli, it is most nutritional.
Just planted a few more bird pepper seeds, and have a few to plant in the garden.
Good luck
