G'day Again Hotheads,
Hey thanks for all that great help with answering my roaster query. Clear up
things a bit for me now!!!
I have another question about one of my chile plants that I have had growing
for nearly 5 years now in a pot. It is what I think people refer to a Joker
Hat as it sort of looks like a Scotch Bonnet but with 3 elongated lobes. The
whole pods is around 1- 1 1/4" long. Red in colour. About a 5/10 on the
average heat score. Very thick flesh and quite cold tolerant as it will take
several frosts. In the 5 gallon pot it has grown approx 3 feet high and 4
feet wide with very sturdy branching. Leaves are Hab like. My question is,
what in the heck species is this. My first impression is that it is baccatum
because of the cold tolerance but I have no idea. Can anyone offer an
opinion here. Thanks again.
