I'm not anywhere near your size operation, but here in Zone 5 I have started
about 40 plants: red savina, aji limon, hawaiian sweet hot, datil, red
rocoto, kolasca paprika and bulgarian carrot have sprouted. Still waiting
on the yellow rocoto, chiltepin, francisca, chocolate hab and chacoense.
FWIW, un-named chile with control # PBC367 (from AVRDC) listed a fruit type
as keriting has sprouted. I asked the list a while ago what type of fruit
that might be, but got no info. I finally got info that keriting is
similar to cayenne; a multitude of very long, very thin, spiral-shaped
fruits (kind of like a corkscrew). It's found in Sri Lanka, Indonesia and a
few other Asian countries.
