Earlier this year someone posted that that the Red Savinas they grew from
Northrup-King seed weren't very hot. Looks like I have the same problem. My
two plants were overwintered and are very healthy and full of fruit, but at
least the first ones that have turned red have NO heat, now I don't mean
they're not as hot as I expected I mean they have NO heat at all. Last year
they had some heat but not nearly what I was expecting so I gave them
another year. Unless the later fruit improves considerably these plants
won't be kept over winter again. I will start with seed from somewhere else
next year. Do you think stressing them might help or are they just duds?.
I've never had to stress any of my chile plants before to get hot peppers
and I grow a good variety of hot ones.
