Pods are very small, about 2x the size of a birdseye.
no where near size of a standard hab. Ave about 1/2 to 3/4in long, maybe 3/8
in dia. Lot of extra work to deseed them.
Deseeding was in same catagory as picking fly -hit out of black pepper with
boxing gloves on
My plants had at least 200 pods per plant.
Looked a lot like, USDA # 159248, Pg 84
"Peppers of the World" Dewitt etc.
One of my sputters last year. size and shape vs "Hab" label
