Bruce, I would strongly assume that the contributing plant was a Ghost Pepper.

Even unstable/variable Reaper pods aren't that long.

I would think either a cross from the yellow ghost or a mix up of seeds and its crossed the other way a yellow Bhut crossed with a reaper and the red color is a dominate color. I would try the reaper again next season to be sure.

I have to agree on the Ghost pepper contribution... But regardless those are some beautiful pods!

Looks like it's definitely a ghost- Could be a cross. Genetics are weird, sometimes weird things just happen.

I would say it Cannot be a pure ghost. I didn't mess with any ghost seeds during the offseason last year. The only ghost it could possibly be would be the Yellow Ghost but it is clearly red. I am going with a cross with my yellow ghost and Reaper. I guess it took the red from the Reaper and the shape from the Yellow Ghost. Who knows where the heat level is other than it is clearly somewhere between Ghost and Reaper.

I crossed a white bullet habanero with a ghost pepper and except for the red color of the ghost all traces of ghost seem to be gone.

Host plant Ghost pollen from white bullet habanero.

It looks like the got the length (shape) from the ghosts and the smooth skin from the habs. Cool. Nice to know for sure what the cross is and the fruit certainly bears out a combination of the two peppers.

Bruce, with hybrids, the unique (non-red) color is typically the first thing to go. When my Thai chiles crossed with my Ghost, the resulting pods were red...although they remained upright like the Thai.

Did the pods look like Ghosts?
