Dean,

This year I grew the following:

Paprika Supreme F-2 (saved seeds from 2007, original seed source was Johnny's)
Alma Paprika- SSE
Hot Apple- trade
Feher Ozon- trade
Kalocsai V-2- trade

The Paprika Supreme appears to have grown true to the original and I'm saving F-3 seeds. A very nice pepper for fresh eating or drying, sweet with a very mild heat.

I bought the Alma to compare to Hot Apple, they do appear to be the same pepper. The frustrating thing with both varieties is that some fruit are sweet with no heat, while others kick a bit of a punch.

Feher Ozon is a pretty pepper, bright orange and sweet. I haven't noted any heat to it as yet.

The Kalocsai V-2 is by far the hottest of this group, probably a 3 to 3.5 for me on a scale of 5.

I'm drying all of the above for powder. I can tell you, I'll need a ton of Alma and Hot Apple to get any appreciable amounts of powder.
