I don't think this is a habanero
 

Good Evening,

Not being an experienced pepper raiser , the pepper plant that I have
has been posing as a habanero, but I blew it's cover when
investigating pepper pics on the net. However, I'm still not really
sure what it is. If anyone would like to visit my homepage and have a
look, the link is http://hometown.aol.com/moo112/pepperplant.html

I think it's probably one of those purple tigers or something like
that.

Thanks,

Moo

Bolivian Rainbow? There's also a Haitian Purple that grows upright and
belongs to the habanero family.

Hi!
It's hard for me to get a clear view of the leaves, but if they have white
on the leaves, the pepper plant could be Varigata. Or it could be Bolivian
rainbow, taken from the habanero family, it can even be Confetti with a
multitude of colours. What whatever it is??? It's gorgeous!! Good luck!

Hello,

The fruits, which start out purple, are about 3/4" to 1" long, and
around 1/2" circumferance in diameter. After several weeks, the purple
fruits will change to vanilla, then to orange, and then to red. The
bush is around 2-1/2' tall, and is 2 and a half years old. The peppers
are quite hot.

Does picking peppers promote new pepper growth, or is the yield
predetermined?

Thanks,

Moo

This ain't a habanero f'r sure. I grew a pepper than sounds very
similar several years ago -- I seem to remember a female name
associated with it. They were promoted for their multi-color fruit,
not particularly for eating, but they were very zingy indeed.

I've never thought of this. I just pick (unpickled!) peppers, from
bells to cayenne, when they're ripe or I need some peppers.

I haven't fried any of the peppers yet to know if they become green in
the pan. I have cooked with the red ones (the most mature), by
chopping them up into very small pieces. The pepper plant in the
pictures has at least 100 peppers on it, with more coming each day. I
will do a taste test of the various colors this weekend. I do know
that the red ones are pretty dang hot.

Thanks for the ID. Yes, we do have a Firecracker. However, the taste
is more like dynamite.

Thanks
