Greetings fellow chile heads.  Recently there has been some discussion about
Shepherd's Garden Seeds Red Savina Habaneros.   It seems that a lot of
people, myself included, have found that Shepherd's Red Savina seeds produce
inconsistent plants.  I wrote Shepherd's about it, and they replied.  I
thought you guys might like to see what they had to say about it, so here it
is-   Russell :

Subject: Red Savina Habaneros

Dear Russell,
     Thank you for your recent e-mail about growing Red Savina Habaneros. We
have heard from a few other customers about orange fruit, or varying fruit
shape.  Our seed buyer will be checking with GNS Spices for
information about the seeds we purchased this year.  A letter we have on
file from Frank Garcia says fruit off typing can be caused by
cross-pollination, fruit set at night temperatures of 60(F or below, and
overwatering.  Pancaked fruits (those looking more like Scotch Bonnets or
indented rather than popped out) can be caused by cool night temperatures at
fruit set, or by overwatering.
     I will let you know any further information received about this pepper.
Thanks again for contacting us with your concerns.
     Best wishes for a satisfying and successful gardening season!
            Sincerely, Joyce Hemingson, Garden Advisor
