Steve,
We are having similar problems with our Red Savina seeds. Can't tell a
lot yet, because ours are still green. The leaves all look similar, but
the plants vary quite a bit in size. One plant is putting out a habanero
shaped fruit. Another is putting out something that I would imagine to
end up looking more like a scotch bonnet. In addition this fruit is
growing upright instead of hanging down. The rest of the plants aren't
far enough along yet to judge.
However our seeds are from NK, not Shepherd.
