I don't think anyone but - oh, heck! What's their name, in CA (the
breeder) - is allowed to sell Red Savina seeds. Renee Shepherd, maybe?
So you prob. just got Caribbean Red seeds (def. not as hot as RS), or
some bootleg variety - which might explain the lack of heat.
Have to say, tho', that RS (and Francisca) vary greatly in heat levels.
Don't think this has all been worked out quite properly in breeding.
Yes, Fatalis are yellow when ripe!

>Robert, are your Fatali yellow or orange when ripe? From online descriptions they should be yellow. I would describe mine as more orange than yellow in the same way that Yellow Rocoto distinctly differs from Orange Rocoto. Also found it spelled 3 different ways. (in one book Bosland spells it Fatalli)
