Hot Red Pepper?
2 Attachment(s)
Late last year, I got some free seeds from a lady who owns a feed store nearby. She told me that all she knows about them is that the man who gave her the seeds told her they are red and hot.
Well, they were right. They are red and your mouth burns for 20 minutes after you take a bite. I'm wondering if any of you might want to try to uncover its identity? Plant is bushy and 3 feet tall. Peppers are 4-5 inches long. The peppers start out green but quickly turn red (No yellow or orange stage.) I would guess they are at least 30,000 Scoville units hot. Pictures |
I am no pepper expert but looks like a hot Italian type. My heirloom cayenne's go from green to red with no in between

I agree with Karen, they are likely a cayenne.

Log red cayenne named after the city in French Guiana in South America.

Long Red Cayenne - the image search is a match. So is the Scoville 30,000-50,000 units. You all amaze me :)

I never grew Long Red Cayenne, but I've seen that pepper or it's twin. I grew Japs and Mammoth Japs next to Cayennes (all Bonnie Plants) next to the compost pile. The next year a bunch of volunteers came up in the compost pile, and most of them looked like that. Fat like the Japs and long like the Cayennes. Tasty peps, too.
