Container squash pepper

Barbee · June 1, 2009

Squash pepper growing in a container on the deck. Variety is called "red mushroom". Seed from TGS. It's got plenty of peppers setting. Supposed to be super hot. I grew it for my daughter.

Hm, Tomato Grower's supply says it is a C chinense, but the chileman says it's a C annuum. Any chance you could get a picture of the flowers? Or you could take a look here and compare flowers.

As a pepper geek, I'm always curious about these things.

I grow these and they are a real must in salsa.
A good pepper.

BlueAussie,
Sorry it took me so long to get a pic for you. Here you go. Both blossoms looked alike to me when I looked at the link you posted. So I'll let you decide

I'm pretty sure that's a chinense. Two flowers or more at each node, correct?

Thanks for going to the trouble of taking the picture.

Barbee · June 10, 2009

Yes, multiple flowers coming off each node...like the white habenero I am growing. The jalapeno is single flowers. It is supposed to be quite the little hottie and resemble a tam o'shanter. Not sure what a tam o'shanter is, but I'll take a pic of the peppers when they grow out LoL

I am growing "red mushrooms" chili too, the plant is starting to produce some flower buds,but I have no idea about the heat. I am growing it for ornamental
,but would be interested to see it's real genus (my package said a C. Chinense)...will watch for this thread...thanks for starting it !
