A guy sent some seeds to Oz, using the required "Green Tag" on the
tag
there is a space to be filled out "Genus" and "Species" he put down
"Dunno
Mate" and it made it thru.

That would be about right..
It must have been read by one of our AQIS < Australian Quarantine,
Inspection Service people that regard English as a second Language>
The Govt Dept's I deal with from time to time are full of them..
I Need some guidance on Tepins, I have had several lots of seed Some
from Tx and some from Arizona, I have had problems with both, they just
don't seem to grow much past 3 inches high in the coastal micro climate
that I have them in, My mother grew some to fruit but they were still
small and seemed to take 2 yrs to mature,..
Anybody out there can suggest the right soil medium/ depth/ length of
sunlight/ temps etc..
I had some, and pound for pound consider them more deadly than Habs..
<FWIW i ate 15 Habs to win the Sawtell Chile Festival,(seeds and all,)
would have eaten the stems if push came to shove.> but would have had
serious reservations about eating the same weight of Tepins..
