Has anyone had any experience growing this kind of chilli. They are a
habernero with out the heat. Just received some seeds from USA.. Have
tried to grow regular habs in the past without a great deal of success.
Any tips would be appreciated........I live in WA.

How did you get on with customs?
I'd be worried about introducing some virus, etc.

Terry, that's what I've been curious about because I found some seeds on
ebay that I wanted to buy, and naturally, the seller said it was OK to
import them, he does it all the time!! Sure!! Anyway when I read the
AQIS website I got the impression they couldn't be imported, although
for some species they radiate etc etc but of course, this all costs the
importer.

Curious to hear John's reply!

I have been buying seeds from the USA over the internet for 5 or more years
and had no problems. I get them from reputable companies ( not Ebay ) and
they come accompanied with a declaration from the supplier as to the full
description of the seeds and where they were grown. They are usually
opened by the Australian customs and they put a "Passed''
sticker on the envelope. I have been told by the customs dept that
capsicum seeds are OK providing they are not contained in soil.
There maybe some seeds that they will confiscate but I have only ever
ordered tomato and chilli seeds.

Thanks John!! Some of the seeds I was interested in buying were
Lithops, I bought various tomatoes from Victoria and Queensland.

Good luck with the Chilli seeds
