I'm not sure yet, but think Sandhill Preservation will have Bhut seed listed for 2011.

Well, it's up to you from your end as I see it.

Glenn called me last night about some other issues and I mentioned The Buht one and his fingers are crossed as well.

My worst experience with a hot pepper was a pack with the variety called Elephant Ears that someone brought back from India for me. There was nothing that said it was a hot pepper ( the pack had info in English) so when it was large and green I picked one and took a huge bite out of it as I stood next to my row of hot peppers. I gagged, I sweated, the tears started flowing and I hightailed it back to the old farmhouse ASAP and grabbed some bread an milk.

I lived.

I used to list quite a few hot peppers in the SSE YEarbook but b'c the X pollination is so high as compared with tomatoes I gave up b'c I wasn't going to build isolation cages for them. But a few of them have done well. Several are at Southern Exposure, Joe's Round isoneof them althoughsomeone chqanged the name to Amazzo and I got them to change it back to what the name was when I sent it to Jeff McCormick, the former owner of SASE, and Joe's Long Cayenne at Johnny's and they added the Cayenne part.

Both are now in the SSE Public catalog as well.

And while the Joe's Round one is kind of unique as to fruit formation, neither of those are as HOT as that darn Elephant Ear one and Ihave grown habs,especially a nice one brought back from Cameroon for me by Heidi Iyok who was at that time a student of mine.

And yes, she's the same Heidi that I named that great paste one for that she also brought to me from Cameroon/

Bama J and Darrel, how far apart are you two in Alabama?
