Hi folks,
I recently sold some Tepin seeds to a seed company in the United Kingdom. This
morning I received the following:
"I have had to contact Thompson & Morgan in the UK as they are now
> stating Tepin as exclusive to T&M They have informed me I cannot sell it
> as Tepin as they have exclusive rights from the breeder Redwood seed
> company in the USA to sell Tepin in the UK."
I replied that the only person who might have been able to obtain an exclusive right
to that variety was Christopher Columbus.
To drive another nail into the Tepin is hotter than Habanero coffin, take a look at:

It looks like Paul Bosland & company did some heat testing!
