Mystery pepper ID

8 years ago

I only planted a few varieties this year: sugar rush peach, aji pineapple, and habanada. Started each from seed -- SRP bought from Baker Creek, AP bought from an Amazon seller, and habanada from seeds I saved from last year's harvest.


All plants fruited as expected, but this one. This is definitely not like the others. Either a stray seed got in with one of the purchased seed packets, or something cross-pollinated my habanada last year. The former seems most likely. I've lost track of what this one was supposed to be, since it was fairly easy to tell the plants apart when young, I didn't label well.


Anyone recognize what it might be? It's a C. chinense variety for sure. Fruits are lobed in a fairly regular pattern, skin is a bit rough, young fruits are green unlike habanada (which are smooth and creamy green/white before ripening). Blossom end is blunt rather than pointy. I'm eager to see what color they become when ripe.
