An Unknown Chili (The Beginning)

September 29, 2018

This chili was given to me by Kuya Jhen last September 23, 2018.  Below is the plant where he got it from, well this is actually his plant.

He told me that someone gave him some seeds, and said that those were Ghost Chilis.  He had a Ghost Chili plant before but was not able to propagate it, until the plant died, more than a year or two after he planted it.  It was a pity really.  Ghost Chili plants are really nice to the eyes.

Well, back to this Chili.  So, he planted the seeds, and this is what it turned out.

We do not know the name of this chili maybe you can help us.  If you know its name, kindly put it in the comment section below. Thank you.

I have been looking online, and I saw two that resembles this.  The first is the Liebesapfel sweet chili pepper.  The other one is the Picuante or Peppadew chili pepper.

Our chili has a diameter of about one to one and one-half inches only, and it is less than an inch high, like a small tomato.

The plant really looks good, especially when the fruits are already ripe.  The fruit also turns red, like in the first picture.

I planted the seeds that Kuya Jhen gave me today, 69 seeds in all.

Hopefully, they would all grow.

Until next time.
