I have a beautiful 'Super-Chile' Plant that has spouted off fruit left and
right this season.  I have a couple of friends that would like to grow
similar plants, which I am more than willing to provide for.

To which I reply;

Jeff, if your Super Chile is the same variety as the one I grew this year,
upright pods, compact habit, pods 1"-2.5" long, smallish leaves, medium
heat, it is an F1 hybrid and the offspring seeds can't be relied upon to
produce a plant identical to the parents.  However, you might get very lucky
and produce some interesting results.   

When saving seeds the pods should be left to ripen fully on the plant and,
depending on your climate, humidity, etc you can air dry them or dry them
over low heat.  Seeds from the early pods tend to have a better germination
rate.  

Hope this is helpful.  

In Chiles,

Doug
