Just thought it might be appropriate to let members of this list
know what chiles I'm growing. I have never cared for the taste
of C. Chinense so I'm growing several to see if there is even one
I like. These include Bhut Jalokia, Red Savina, Fatalii, Datil and
Congo Black. I am also growing Lemon Drop, which I do like.
The C. Frutescens I am growing include Tabasco, Tabasco Green Leaf,
Purira, Brazilian Malagueta and the real Filipino Siling Labuyo.
My C. Pubescens is only Orange Manzano. My C. Baccatum include
Aji Amarillo, Cumari and Cumari ou Passarinho. My C. Annuum include
Prik Chi Faa/Wong Strain, Pearl, Tepin. Pequin, Yellow Fire,
Japones (Yatsufusa), Hon, Hong Gochu, Aji Rojo, Sili Haba (Sweet),
Bulgarian Carrot, Serrano, NuMex Twilight, El Chaco,
Chinese 5-Color, Hanoi Red and Charleston Hot.
I would like to find genuine Mexican Jalapeno varieties such as
Tipico and Peludo. They will perform much better here in hot, humid
LA (Lower Alabama) than the Early Jalapeno I am able to find.
I am also hoping to find more Korean varieties than Hong Gochu,
more Indian varieties than Azr, which I do have, and true Amazonia
varieties from the birthplace of all chilies… Bolivian Aji, Panamanian
and Brasilian market peppers.
