Hi John
I have some Pictures of the Blossoms from Mine here in Oz,
the Fruit look quite similar,
5 or six pictures 437 k each in size of Blossom taken with my Brothers Nikon 990
Digicam on Macro Zoom,
can send you if you like.or try Graeme Casseltons Website at
easyweb.easynet.co.uk/~gcaselton/chile/chile.html
and on the left pane scroll down to Var C pubescens to see a sample picture..
The Chiles actually grew to 6 - 7 foot tall and nearly as wide like a vine,
Unfortunatly they were grown mainly at my mothers house At Kiama south of Sydney and
were Fruit Fly Magnets, so they got pulled out after a couple of years.I had no
problems up here with fruit fly but have had them in the past when I grew
Feijoa'sellowina a Green Fruit from south america which was commonly grown in New
Zealand
Mine were sourced from Brasil by a Local living about 25 kilometers north of me here
in Coffs Harbour, think I still have some seed left,..
Regards Luke in Oz
