Lonewolf 18,146 Posted July 17, 2008 Stem and flowers remind someway the P.de Neyde, but pods is completely different. In the full description isn't mentioned the species, but I guess it's a C.chinense Plant seems to be very interesting! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chuck 7 Posted July 17, 2008 It seems to be a perfect plant: beautiful, big and productive! We'll wait for a picture of fruits!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whitekoohii 0 Posted July 23, 2008 6 moths into the season and it is time for a quick recap. out of 37 chilli plants, almost all bar 3 have already flowered with over half of them having set (at least) some pods. 3 varieties have already matured, namely the buena mulata (delicious!), putaparió and poblano. as usual, pubescens (no pods yet) and chinenses (a bunch of pods) are the slow performers. daily temps are consistently above the 30Cs and night temps in the low 20Cs. so far so good. cannot help but showing a couple of recent flowers off, a bolivian quintisho (chinense, thanks go to silbante for the seeds) and a peruvian chinchi uchu (baccatum).

whitekoohii 0 Posted August 8, 2008 this birgit's locoto bush (or small tree, rather) is up to 2m tall and is full of ripening pods. i have searched info about the bolivian variety to no avail, so it remains a mystery who birgit is and why they are called locotos (term normally used for capsicum pubescens in bolivia) while the variety is a baccatum... fruits mature from light green to orange then red, they are fruity and mildly spicy, very good for eating raw or spicing up cooking.
