Cross pollinating chilli peppers. and the birth of a new chilli variety!

[@ChilliChump]

What would be your ideal chilli pepper cross? Also don't forget to let me know your name suggestion!

[@campenelloyt2967]

Pink tiger × habanero

[@fieryfools7201]

"The Aji Birds Eye"

[@GhOsT_RAiDeN89]

Hey Chilichump! Extremely informative video on cross-pollination. Some names I was thinking of: lemiperri, lemon eye drop (lemon drop paired with bird's eye), LemonHot, Peri Peri Lemon (sounds like very very lemon), Perlemon. As maybe a suggestion we could also wait and see what they look, smell, and taste like before we name them. Looking forward to the new content!

name; Chillichump :)

[@HavocVulture21]

Thanks for the video. It's rare to find one that has so much clear info without wasting the viewer's time. It's also nice to hear a South African voice again as an expat :) I'd call it the drop kick.

[@joefillmore420]

Can't wait to see what the crossed pepper looks like! I would name it "Golden PP"

[@OrricktheAlien]

Josh Wende you could name it "Trump"

[@harleyrdr1]

Josh Wende Golden PP sounds a bit too “Urine-ish” to me. 🤣

[@bennywolf2169]

Lol 😆

[@jeroenkok7870]

Thanks for the video! My wife is a beautician and I used her cuticle tool to remove the leaves and peddles. Worked very easy

[@onehopeofthedoomed]

Peri Drop if it is closer to Peri Peri, or Lemon Peri if it is closer to a Lemon Drop. Edit, if you get the golden colour of the Lemon drop then Golden Peri might be interesting

[@CLFS]

I'm in agreement with this fella

[@xdragonxmasterx6790]

[@pureluck8767]

You took the words right out of my mouth....

[@iwanttobelieve5970]

Yes, this!!!

[@JobraKai]

This was not only extremely educational but filmed beautifully. Thank you so much for posting this one! Amazing!

[@meatandheat7529]

You gotta have a ‘chump chilli’ at some point.... Piri piri + jalapeno (polinate jalapeño) an hopefully end up with large thick skin jalapiri peppers for braai poppers ;-)

[@myrbs13]

Peri lemon sounds fitting

[@therisingphoenix00]

I crossed Dragon x Douglah with Yellow Habanero last year. This year i used the resulting seeds, plants grew and some fruits are developing already, can´t wait for the results!

[@gerhardvanstaden389]

A weird looking cross. And the effort you put in is worth it. Great work man keep it up

[@alibimac4214]

@chillichump Glad you're keeping well. I accidentally crossed a pepper with a chilli, and this year ended up with a pepper which is more chilli shaped with heat with it. Never knew this was possible. Another great Tube.

[@jack.bratten6524]

I'm new to this, would mind explaining to me what the biological boundaries are, like can I just go pollinate whatever I want with whatever I want? Or does have to be in the same group, family, genome, like what's the deal? thanks

[@ChilliChump]

Hi Jack, have a look in the description of this video. I have linked to the chart I showed in the video which shows compatibility between varieties

[@jakobertl7583]

Namewise i suggest simply “Steve“ to honour your Brother ;) Watched every single of your videos and LOVE them! Great job you've done there!

[@davidniemi6553]

I have been working on two crosses for about 3 years, trying to stabilize them and preserve the best varieties. They were both accidental crosses, one interspecies (frutescens (tabasco) x chinense (habanero)) and one not (Fish annuum x Bulgarian Carrot annuum). The F1 generation is a predictable cross and both showed great merit. The F2-F3 generations are chaos, with all sorts of crazy genetic diversity for you to select from. I'm in the F3-F4 region now where I'm starting to try to stabilize the best ones. I would recommend reserving names for when you see what the pods of the descendant plants are actually like, including color, heat level, shape, and any other interesting characteristics. Until then, mechanistic names based on what plot and bush they grew from are more helpful.

[@thestormbikers9943]

Am i the only one who loves the way he says chili pepper

[@markzambelli]

I'd go for the 'Chumpsa Peridrop' Chump + SA (South Africa) + peri + drop. You earned it bro! (Another good vid, Sir, thankyou and good luck)

[@simonhenry7415]

aha - I honestly thought that once you cross-polinated a flower that you would end up with a different fruit on the host plant, you teach me something each video! Thanks mate!

[@NorthernKnight1000]

I vote for Lemon Tickler as the name for this glorious creation!

[@quentinbaxter4492]

yellow eye as a suggestion. A great cross would be a cherry chili and a habenero. Thanks for the informative video.

[@mangy.78]

I would call it a lemon peri simple I know but describes it perfectly

[@nwiaquatics]

Love how you broke this down for us..! Awesome channel too..! Thanks

[@harris4]

I would suggest "Perihelion". There's a few nice connotations there for a hot pepper.

[@ericlarson9386]

Limon Drop. As the limon is a hybrid of a lemon and lime. Maybe not the best idea, but an idea. Good luck with this project.

[@markf226]

FLIP!!! I don't.. i really don't understand people disliking a vid like this.. One of life's miseries, i mean mysteries. Anyway thank you for some of the science as well. So helpful.

[@valamaas]

Im totally blown away. Our chilli season in AUS is starting. I will look at your chart and study some more. Golden Peri, wow, that would be something. Btw, love the video closeups. The pollen from the brush floating away.

[@ZekeJonesFitness]

The Lemon Nandos 🤣🤣 Also no need to wait till next year. I would get a cheap grow light online (~£40) and plant about 20 in small pots under it. You’ll see a wide variety of phenotypes plus you’ll get to grow fresh peppers all year round. Over the winter, observe each plant, select the phenotypes you like, and plant those out next summer. That way you don’t waste precious space in your garden!

[@michaelgrant6920]

I can't wait to see how these turn out next year.

[@twitchycygnus]

Lemon Berri is my suggestion. Has a good ring to it

[@th3count]

Leri (Larry) Could you do a continuation of this? how to cultivate seeds from yours peppers and more information on continued breeding to stabilize. This video has me very interested in trying something similar. I would love to take the bold flavor of a ghost pepper and drop the heat to something similar to a Serrano.

[@ChilliChump]

I will be showing the progress of this for sure!

[@th3count]

@@ChilliChump Hey, Just found your channel. Thanks a bunch for your information. I tried starting my first fermented batch today after watching your videos and a few others. Went to the local green houses and bought a bag of "chilies", tossed in some fresh green onion, garlic and a few other seasonings. Do you make your own vinegar as well for your sauces, maybe a fruit based vinegar?

[@ChilliChump]

@@th3count I do make my own vinegar, but I don't use it in my sauces at the moment. I need to use vinegars that will give me a predictable result, and the flavours would vary quite a bit with a home made vinegar. It's no problem to use it for your own sauces though if you aren't worried about the sauce tasting the same every time!

[@linaso9739]

Looking forward for the result 🌿🌶. After I try growing different peppers I will play this game too. Thank you for showing the rooles 😁

[@demetriuspowell29]

Wedding favor bags and flagging tape helps me when saving seed and preventing cross pollination

Hey, @Chillichump, just finished your Cowboy Candy video from last year. Hope to see an update this year with the hotter varieties and baste! Cheers

I've watched this vid a few times and wondered what was dancing around in the background, just worked out its a 40th birthday balloon 😆 great vid btw 👌

[@ChilliChump]

Thanks Mark! Yeah this was just after my 40th!

[@GoogleUser-vu2ej]

Loved your video I've been thinking about doing that for a while with flowers now I know how to do it with the flowers I think it would be the same process however I call it new pepper patience because it took a lot for you to do that have a great holiday

[@paramsiviahbommarasanally2660]

Is it not better to properly cover the pollinated stigma adequately to prevent pollen from other source pollinating? You have explained the technique of emasculation of the stamen beautifully well thanks a lot.

[@ragnarandy]

Hi- not to put a dampener on things but you might think of covering over the pollinated flower - there is a chance that pollen from that plant or others get into the mix - the stronger Jean will take over - I hope you have done it - I would cover the flower after this with your mesh bag just to stop other pollen contaminating - just a suggestion

[@ChilliChump]

I did cover them over with the mesh bag to isolate, so pretty confident of the pollination.

[@ragnarandy]

Chillichump ok great that should work - you didn't show that in the video . I thought it was strange as you cover them to save seeds . Ok forget what I said . Earlier

[@ChilliChump]

@@ragnarandy I was trying to keep the video tight...did a load of editing. People seem to complain when videos go over 15 minutes or so

[@ragnarandy]

Chillichump I think you did it well - it's hard to do without damaging the flower and having to start over - 👍

[@zachstoner5347]

Lemeri! Keep up the great work, you got me into growing my own peppers and fermenting my own sauces! Quality content as always, have a great day. :D

Lepri pop, "half" lemon and half pepri. And just the pop ( kinda rimes with drop ) that comes when you bite down on it and it crunches!

[@katecoombes1000]

I’m going to just be crazy say: Leri Pemon. 🤣 Great Video.

[@markbedard6238]

Lemon peri simple easy no mistaking the cross

[@dennis33]

Also, a great method to prevent the stigma from getting pollinated by others after manual pollination is to cover it with little organza bags or something similar 🙂

[@pigradar8481]

Can you cross just about any peppers? I love the Tabasco pepper plant and I would love to see a hotter and maybe even better looking peppers. I think this could be an amazing project to do in a indoor hydroponic system because it can be growing year round. Your video has me really wanting to cross my Tabasco with something else. Hopefully I can get a indoor hydroponic system and a pepper I want to mix with next year. Thank you so much for this video. It is very inspiring! Also with a indoor hydro system you could make it where there is zero chance unwanted cross pollination. Keep up the great videos and I cant way to see them next year.

[@ChilliChump]

If you look at the chart I popped up in the video you can get an idea of which types can cross with other types. There are some that don't cross too easily...

[@itsmeagain8604]

Nice masterclass Chillichump. I agree with others - PeriDrop and on the bottle label you could mention AM-arseache.

[@cdh79]

i just did that last week with my komodo dragon (orange) and fatalii whites.. used the fatalii pollen on a komodo flower.. looking forward how it turns out, as i'd prefer to get a white komodo dragon pepper :)

[@antoanarnaudov3664]

Good luck with the results ! Id say see what the cross looks like and what it tastes like before giving it a name. Lemiri is my suggestion though :)

[@travisgillespie2819]

Very helpful, thanks for sharing 👍

[@boboscurse4130]

So many possibilities. What about a Bangalore Whippets Tail crossed with a Scotch Bonnet?!

[@lindsaygoodwin3140]

So, if I understand correctly, you pollinate and tag individual flowers, then plant out the seed from the resulting pepper to get your hybrid? Could have been a bit more clear about the steps, perhaps bullet points would help those of us who aren't good auditory learners or who are non-native English speakers. Thanks for such useful information and great footage. Cant wait to see more :)

Hope it turns out great! Permon chump could be a good name.

[@andrewhutchinson5079]

[@fin1740]

Can you cross a mixture of chocolate taste to a hot pepper? That would be a great "Aztec" cross. Having written tha las line...maybe I should have read further down than I did! A chock naga? It sounds good.

[@quantum8945]

Really interesting video thanks so much for making it @chillichump !

[@shaunballagh196]

Cool upload...! I like 'Golden Peri Peri' that has already been suggested.

[@geekgeneration]

Lemon Peri and Peri Drop. Curious question, here you used the pollen from the lemon drop and put it onto the peri peri, would you also take pollen from the peri peri and put it onto the lemon drop then grow out seeds from both pods to see if one lot turns out to take on different characteristics from the other? Great video as always.

[@mattk6101]

Great video! I would just like to add that the pollen itself doesn't exactly travel down. It grows a pollen tube in which to deliver the sperm.

[@kennethyoung9032]

New subcriber, been watching for a while I have five different cultivars of jalapeño, Freano peppers, Serrano peppers, and two super hots, one Ghost and one Ghor-Pion it's a cross between Ghost pepper and Butch T Trinidad Scorpion.

Uhhh... the chili Community has been complaining about his videos for over a year everything he's shown you you need to erase from your knowledge. Has been cross-pollinating through every fucking video. The fact that we just called him out and now he's doing the video on Cross polinizacion proves the fact he knows nothing please educate yourself before believing in the internet

I toss my hat in for peridrop, but if the turn out short and yellow maybe the Leo Fang pepper.

[@chadd990]

I've been wondering for a long time how they do it. I thought they had to be in some lab or something with chemistry equipment. I didn't realize how straight forward it is, but I should have known that since our ancestors have been cross pollinating for centuries, it seems.

[@MikaelaSelene]

I think something to leave your mark on it would be cool. Maybe the Chump Chili? Or the Peri Chump Drop?

[@markfleming9486]

Lemi Peri .. same 4 letters and just sounds right

[@mariadrseelig9941]

I love your videos. Name for this heterozygot if ripens yellow: African canary. I guessed it right at the beginning of the video , on of the parent will be your peri-peri.

[@VeggieBeard]

Have you ever seen early signs in young plants of the cross pollination? Maybe in things such as different stem color or leaf 🍃 shape or size. I'm just curious cause I have one of several of the same variety that looks a bit different than the others. All have been managed in the same way from seed to now but this one seems to be different in color on the stem and has much larger leaves.

[@4scoren744]

The Persian Pomelo. Peri was a Persian mythological creature that seemed evil at first but ultimately turned out to be good. Pomelo is a large citrus fruit that is a close cousin of the lemon.

[@gmm465]

I see that some people cover the newly pollinated flower with a small zip lock baggy which I’m assuming is to prevent unwanted pollen from being collected before the pepper begins to form . I noticed you didn’t do that so I’m questioning if I should cover it or not with having other pepper varieties growing in my indoor garden ?

[@ChilliChump]

Once the flower is pollinated...it can't get any more pollinated. Coverying with a mesh bag may be worthwhile...personally I wouldn't use a plastic bag, because it will probably kill the flower/pepper.

[@psychorooks]

Love the content. Your videos have been extremely helpful. As for the Pepper, well, I just couldn't venture a guess until I see you try a product of your F1. Also, Happy Birthday, if that was your ballon twirling in the wind at the end.

[@bhaka4521]

you know it has to be called a Chump Chilli right?

[@stud4883]

Lemon chumps for sure. Is it possible to cross say a green pepper( the big sweet ones) with a super hot chilli?

[@ChilliChump]

you could....but you may just end up with a sweet pepper that is smaller...rather than a superhot that is larger!

[@stud4883]

Chillichump so what you’re saying is that I could grow a super hot looking chilli that’s actually not, which will naturally impress the ladies 😏😂

This is cool I've always been curious as to how this was done.

[@blacksmithbeta5337]

I've been rescuing seeds from my neighbors garden.. I came across one that i wasn't at all sure about.. hoping maybe you could help? It looks like a dwarfed red bell, as big around, just shorter in height, and it also has heat about 1/4 - 1/2 that of a jalapeno. She thought it was a red bell, and she only noticed the minor heat while we were eating them fresh from the garden. Right now the seeds are labeled small red bell, slight heat. Would really like to have an actual name. 😂

[@bridgernorris1402]

Crossing a lemon drop with a thai dragon would be very interesting. The lemon drop and Peri Peri cross should be named the Chump P or Chumpee.

[@gluitch7721]

Gonna try and make a sweet but spicy chilly any recommendations for parents plants to start

[@f1rem0th]

Did you ever make a video of the results? Can you talk is more through stabilisation?

[@ChilliChump]

I have been showing the result of this cross throughout this season. There was an update during my latest video too. This is a difficult cross to do, but got a seed to finally germinate. Now nuts getting it past the first generation and will start the stabilising process.

[@kneisel89]

[@CraftyZA]

Tony Kneisel bell pepper is annuum. Not sure if the super hots will take as none of them are annuum.

[@kneisel89]

Ben Fourie that makes sense as to why I’ve never heard of em!

[@markf226]

The CC Burner (ChilliChump Burner)

[@CraftyZA]

What is the process to go from F1 to stable? Do you just keep on harvesting seeds or do you manually cross pollinate each generation? My ideal hybrid would be a very large tabasco with all that juice inside. frutescens does not have any large peppers. However, some scholars believe frutescens to be very close to annuum. Wonder if that can be possible.

[@ChilliChump]

To get to stable you need to isolate the flowers of the new plant, and do that through 8 generations. I will show this process going forward!

[@generalchicken3385]

Would love suggestions on selecting my next chili seeds. Taste is priority. Scoville around 5 000 - 30 000, my weak Scandinavian tongue can't handle much more.. Currently have a heavy producing Tabasco plant (seriously heavy I think? I'm a beginner and had no idea Tabasco got like a thousand small fruits..). A bit hot for me though.
