Hello all,

Back in the 90s I grew a chilli pepper called Datil, from seed. I'd
like to grow it again, but can't find any seed to buy anywhere. Can
anyone help please? It's Capsicum Chinense.

Cheers,
Wendy

That's one of the Habanero chillies but none of the seed merchants I can
think of does it. There is a seed merchant in the USA that has it if you do
a Google search.

Yes I think I got it from the States before. I just thought that
perhaps now someone would do it in the UK. You can get just about any
other type of chilli seed! But thanks for that anyway, I'll have a
look at some US companies.

Can you not save some seed from this years crop?

Hi Spider,

Thanks for the recommendation. Nice site. Unfortunately they don't
seem to actually sell datil seeds.

Cheers,
Wendy

If I'd grown it this year I most certainly would! However as I said
above, it's many years since I grew it, sadly.

Hi Wendy,

I promise you it was there moments before I posted! I typed in their web
address and had another look .. it wasn't there! Instead, I retraced my
steps and googled exactly as I did originally, entering Suppliers of
Capsicum Chinense 'Datil' SEEDS in UK only. As previously, it located the
Chilli Pepper Company .. on Page 4 of Chilli Seeds (just as before) was
Datil .. a yellow pepper. It was - IS - priced at £1.75 plus £2.00 GBP for
post and packing.

I don't know why one search finds it and another doesn't, and I can quite
see why you responded as you did :~), but it *is* there. Try going through
google with my search entry and see what happens. ... or perhaps you
telephoned or emailed them and they told you they didn't have it ... but
they *have* stocked it because it *is* on their website. It's just rather
like me .. not all there at a time! :~). Do, please, have another go.

Good luck.

I must admit I found it on their site the first time but have failed to find
in since, very strange.

Very strange! Thanks for going to so much trouble Spider, I appreciate
it. I have contacted them via their website so await a reply with
baited breath. I'll report back.

Quite wierd, but I glad you had a similar experience! Let's hope Wendy
finds it.

You're welcome, Wendy. I hope you get somewhere with it. I shall
certainly keep an eye on this thread to see what happens.

Spider

You can find them on ebay, though the new Super Datil strain seems to be more prominent now. I just got my Super Datils in and am in the process of germinating them for an indoor hydro grow, they supposedly fruit much faster and grown 2-3x larger peppers than a regular datil.
I do have some normal Datil seeds from last year, I dont know what the laws are regarding shipping them to UK but I dont mind sending them out if you are still looking.

John

I promise you this time I am there! I entered your site address, and then take a look, it does not exist! Instead, I trace my Google the steps and I had exactly the same, enter the vendor chinensis Pepper 'Datil' seeds in the UK alone.
