Chile heads-
I was given a hab plant in exchange for some chile powder I ground. This
plant is kind of unusual because it is almost bonsai like. Very thick (the
size of your little finger) almost woody stems, extremely dense foliage,
profusely blossomed with white flowers about 3/8 inch in diameter. Also,
the fruit that sets gets no bigger than the size of a shirt button, but
will mature to orange and gets regular hab heat and flavor. The whole
thing is about 10 iches high.
The plant was grown in a greenhouse. There were 4 of them, but the rest
were given away. Anybody else ever seen a plant and fruit like this ?
Cute stuff. I think I can get a digital picture, but no way to post... If
anybody wants a pod or 2, send me private e-mail and I'll see what I can
get this little dandy to do.
Maybe this is the reward for my chile mutation attempt...
