The 5 Major Pepper Species - Grow Interesting Pepper Varieties - Pepper Geek

[@trappenweisseguy27]

“Grow something you cannot buy in the grocery store”. Truer words have never been spoken.

[@D71219ONE]

For anyone in a cooler climate without much sunlight, I highly recommend Murasaki and Shoshito peppers. I’m in Illinois and due to giant trees in my neighbor’s yard, I get almost no direct sunlight. These two Japanese varieties have been by far the most prolific for me.

[@josephcliffordmontana4493]

Thanks man

[@jamesarcher473]

I got Shishito seeds from a friend in Japan. I liked it, but is not a hot pepper I grow all my peppers together in pots on a long table so the dogs cannot pee on them. Unfortunately they cross at will so the next generation is a hodgepodge. Makes it all interesting. I raise them for my fun and for my son-in-law, who loves very hot peppers. I planted seeds from a Canadian Supplier this year - Bhut Jolokia, Yellow Habanero, Carolina Reaper, and Scotch Bonnet. I started them inside very early - like November. They did well and were doing well outside until they got a heat-related bacterial wilt along with the neighbouring tomatoes. I moved them to their own table removed from the others and they finally started to recover from the wilt. Now setting good fruit. I would like to hear more about cross-pollination as my Carolina Reapers provided only sterile, unproductive plants that were big, but useless and the few peppers had no seeds. That was when they were grown together with annum species.

[@D71219ONE]

@@jamesarcher473 Sadly, none of my super hots (Bhutlah, Reapers, Ghost etc) survived. Habaneros are the hottest I was able to grow this year, but they are refusing to ripen.

[@jamesarcher473]

This year I planted from my own saved seeds (as I do every year) Ring of Fire, THai, Shishito, Cayenne, Noboru’s Hybrid Pepper, and Cheyenne(this is actually a variety that developed from the original hybrid Cheyenne. I got a variety of types from the first generation seeds and decided to plant only this one. Nice size and yellow ripened. I save my own seeds every year and it makes things more interesting. Can be surprising sometimes. I save all my own tomato seeds as well. Tomatoes do not usually cross pollinate, but it appears it might be pretty common with peppers.

[@jamesarcher473]

I did not finish. I grow my peppers in pots. I mix my own soils and I find the peppers do better in pots than in the garden. Easier to give them attention and they produce “tons” of peppers that my daughter dries and then converts into various spicey hot sauces (using my tomatoes as well).

The "habanada" looks like what we call "pimento" peppers in Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹. It is an absolute must for our everyday cooking and green seasonings.

Nice! We’ve seen Trinidad “perfume” varieties that are low or no heat

[@jiujitsuforall8627]

I stopped by to learn a bit more about some seeds I ordered from the Chile Pepper Institute and got sucked down the wormhole. Who knew there was SO much to learn about peppers???

[@markhutton6824]

So my neighbour that has got me into growing produce, tomato and baby corn, and I am finding it an amazing way to beat the depression I have.. you plant you nature you look forward to the harvest... longterm thinking reduces risk of short term negative thinking. So any way he brought back a packet of pepper seeds, 8 out of 10 have sprouted in the first week.. I know it is late but they outside in a mini green house and they are quite a niche pepper... The Peter Pepper is an heirloom pepper that I will harvest seeds from to ensure it survives.

[@mikeb1039]

Endophins from eating hot peppers is very nice for depression. I have Peter Peppers on my list for next year!

[@mongjedi244]

I'm harvesting Jamaican Scotch Bonnets, Fish Peppers, Buena Mulatta, Chinese Five Color, Apocalypse Scorpion, Jay's Peach Bhut Jolokia and Corbaci Peppers. My 1st year growing hot peppers and it has been an amazing experience. I live in coastal SC and have been using 35% shade cloth over my garden. Grown in fabric pots. All from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds. Great results. I started them indoors in Feb and it took a while then all the sudden they exploded

[@veganproject1179]

Just discovered you two lovely folk and have been binge watching your vids for the last week. I grew approximately 400 Chilli plants (you say peppers) last year, but they were 2 maybe 3 different varieties tops. I had the seeds left over from something else, they were actually about 8 years old and I wasn’t expecting them to do much, but they did. With last year being a reasonable success and being a huge chilli fan, eating wise, I decided to throw myself head first into it this year. Here is a list of what I’m growing this year. Aji Amarillo, aji Verde, beaver damn, chile de onza, chimayo, corbaci sweet, Orozco, tolls sweet Italian, jelapeno and purple jelapeno, Willy chilli or penis pepper to you, scotch bonnet, orange habanero, rokita, Mexican hot, biquinho red, ancho grande and pablano, Serrano, pepporoncini, big Jim, cascabel, pasilla bajio and guajillo. I’m using the info in this video to help find each plants ideal final container size, I sincerely thank you and your lady friend for the great work, subbed with all 3 accounts 🤘

[@PepperGeek]

Wow, that’s a great variety of chillis! Thanks for your support and good luck with this year’s crop ☺️

[@karengale6686]

I am glad to see the link to New Mexico State in the links. I bought Joe Parker and Big Jim, plus some poblanos from them this year. They were excellent seeds. I also am growing a package my son gave me labeled “peppers”. I hope to learn what they are likely to be by watching your videos!

[@PepperGeek]

Haha, that sounds like a fun mystery plant. We'll be filming more outdoors going forward as the plants get bigger and bigger. Glad you got some NMSU seeds - love their mission! In case you didn't know, you can become a donating member and they send a free packet of "rare pepper seeds" every year.

[@kenlyneham4105]

When pronouncing the 'aji' pepper, the stress is on the 'i'. 'Aji' means chili. The most popular variety in Peru is 'Aji armarillo' which means , 'yellow chili'. They are favoured for their many culinary uses. Pimiento is used for sweet peppers and Pimienta is black pepper corns for spicy pepper, like pimienta negra and pimienta blanca, black and white pepper used on the table..

[@PepperGeek]

Thanks for sharing

[@joefization]

What an awesome video. I've been a chillie grower and enthusiast for years and didn't know much of this info.

[@davidniemi6553]

I typically grow dozens of kinds of peppers each year. One of the most exciting things for me is when a pepper plant turns out to produce something you don't expect. One of these is an accidental Tabasco Habanero cross (Tabanero; Frutescens x Chinense) with a lot of unique characteristics -- juicy, sweet, kinda hot, practically picks itself when ripe, small seeds so you can eat them directly if you can take some heat. The other was supposed to be a Fish pepper but looks more like an Anaheim (either way, C. Annuum) -- I call it "Chisel" because of the shape. Like the Tabanero it tastes good and is spicy at all stages of development, turns red early. Small bush, very productive even in cool weather. Of course, seed saving is crucial to taking advantage of special crosses, fortunately if you already grown from seed, seed saving is easier in peppers than almost anything else.

[@PepperGeek]

Awesome, yeah I enjoy getting the odd unintentional cross as well. Amazing plants!

[@ijazh6790]

Some very nice looking peppers. I'm growing Birdseye peppers in the UK which are doing great. I love the look of that orange striped variety.

[@PepperGeek]

Same, still waiting for them to ripen for us..can't wait to taste them!

[@jim5143]

One pepper you didn't mention is the Texas Chiltepin. It's in the annuum family. Bird love them, so they usually show up at edges of fences as a result. I have one I planted doing well in Texas heat. You can pick them red and use right away or dry them and crush them on food.

[@PepperGeek]

Thanks for sharing! All the bird-type peppers are great for powder or stir fry

[@dannypalma8159]

Thanks for the info. Will definitely venture out next year. Last season and this year I'm establishing my household staples: jalapeños, poblano, cali wonder, serrano and chiltepin.

Those are all great peppers. Delicious and highly useful. Superhots are fun but they can be a bit intense to use on the daily 😂

@@PepperGeek Until this year, neither have I. Grew it on a 2 year old hugelkulture bed. I was very surprised...I didn’t pan for this size, so it has silly, Frankenstein trellisx5, lol. So, not too great a sight to behold.

[@SupahGeck]

I grew Brazilian starfish peppers last year and loved them so much I'm growing them again. They grew much teller than every other pepper I've planted so I plan to trellis them in a tomato cage-type thing this year. I also grew some aji chinchi amarillos that looked like the aji lemons you showed but a little smaller/orangier and about as spicy as a super market habanero.

[@davidniemi6553]

I also grew them last year for the first time, my first major foray into C. Baccatum. They need an extra month up front to get rolling but make up for it in productivity and a nice fruity taste. For me, a lot of the C. Baccatum varieties ended up 4-6' tall, but a Jasmyn Rissie (also C. Baccatum) was about 8' tall when it finally got too cold to keep it growing.

[@regatta2k]

[@davidniemi6553]

One other note -- there are at least 2 zero heat cultivars of Capsicum Baccatum: Aji Delight and Mad Hatter. I prefer Aji Delight, which is a similar sweet fruity taste, size, and crunch to Sugar Rush but without any heat and with straight flattened or triangular pods.

Lesya creator also released "Orange Lesya" variation this year so probably you will see it in US in a year or two. Paradeisfruchtiger is most likely one of those distinctive "Gogoscharii"- or "Gogosar"-type peppers that originated in Romania and popular in Romania, Moldova and Ukraine. Baccatum peppers, I cannot recommend enough Aji Cristal (really tasty especially while still at greenish technical stage), Peruviano Arancio (again taste is great, heat is high too), Aji Melocoton. Lemon Drop is nice, prolific and sturdy, but one plant is pretty much enough for consumption due to specific taste IMO.
